Saturday 29 August 2026 14:44, UK
Kabongo Tshimanga's second-half penalty salvaged a valuable point for Barnet and maintained their unbeaten start in League Two as they drew 2-2 at home to Cheltenham.
The Robins had the first real chance of the game when Charlie McCann combined with Jake Evans, whose effort was brilliantly saved by Barnet goalkeeper Matthew Cox.
Two minutes later, the Bees broke the deadlock with a counter-attack as Charlie Lakin drifted on to Tshimanga's deft lay-off before gliding his shot into the bottom-right corner from the edge of the box.
At the start of the second half, Dean Brennan's side almost doubled their lead when Jake Reeves' strike rattled the crossbar.
Just on the hour mark, the Robins equalised after two Barnet defenders went for the same ball, allowing Ryan Broom to drive forward and slot into the bottom corner.
Four minutes later, Cheltenham took the lead after breaking quickly, with Evans finding McCann to slot into the empty net.
Barnet were awarded a penalty after Oisin Gallagher was fouled inside the box. Tshimanga converted, sending Robins goalkeeper Wyll Stanway the wrong way.
