Match Report
Yeovil Town’s FA Cup campaign came to an end
Thanks to Jake Farrant from the Green & White Supporters’ Club who allowed us to use his match report – you can read it on the club’s own page – here – with none of the Gloverscast trio in attendance.
Here’s how he saw it…..
First half
Yeovil had the better of the opening exchanges but they weren’t able to put Taunton under any sort of pressure and the game soon began to be a bit dull, much like the first game at Huish Park.
As Taunton began to have some play of their own they were awarded a penalty on 26 minutes when Chiori Johnson handled the ball in the box and Lloyd JAMES stepped up to fire the ball past Grant Smith.
On 30 minutes the home side almost made it 2-0 when Ollie Chamberlain broke through the Yeovil defence but he fired his effort wide.
Very little happened for the remainder of the half as Yeovil just didn’t look like getting an equaliser and they trailed at the break.
Half time: Taunton Town 1 Yeovil Town 0
Second half
Neither side made changes at half time and the game continued with Yeovil playing poorly.
Both teams struggled to create chances during the second half with Yeovil being limited to half chances.
As time ticked away it was inevitable that Yeovil were heading out of the cup and when the full time whistle went the fans were less than impressed.
Full time: Taunton Town 1 Yeovil Town 0
Very poor again. Hargreaves time is up now.
I can’t understand why Williams didn’t play?
