Match Report
Yeovil Town earned a point at Aldershot this afternoon in a game of expected quality between 20th and 21st in the National League. Results around the Glovers mean that Mark Cooper’s side fall to 22nd this evening.
A nervy first half never saw many chances, but Grant Smith was forced into action in the 26th minute.
In the second half, former Weymouth man Tyler Cordner headed in from a corner to give Aldershot the lead.
In the 65th minute the Glovers equalised. Malachi Linton released Matt Worthington on the right wing and his cross found Callum Harriott in the box to give the Glovers hope.
Linton found space on left of the box but could only put his effort into the side netting.
Drama ensued before the final whistle when Aldershot were awarded a controversial penalty. Yeovil lost out on the edge of the Aldershot box and as Campbell broke, in seemingly an offside position, he was brought down by Chiori Johnson.
Fortunately for the Glovers, Jake Hutchinson skied his penalty but a point doesn’t feel enough right now.
Let’s plan for next year
There are 15 points to play for. Play for them, don’t give in.
