T.N.S. 1 - 0 Aberystwyth Town - Match Report

12 points out of 12. The only remaining realistic scenario for a European place. After today’s durable performance versus TNS, Aber will be kicking their heals, screaming! The difference between the sides was simplistic, a penalty for ball to hand on Andy Lee. 

Aber looked strong at the back for the whole of the first half, and even provided Lee, Wright, and Lloyd-Williams some chances on the goal – but Acton raised his playing level in order to keep a deserved clean sheet.

TNS looked scrappy at the back, but eventually Evans commanded them well, and gave them resilience rather than shape. King set up Wilde, who however found the target out of reach with his shot. King stumbled prior to the cross, and had to go off for treatment. Beck replaced him within 20 minutes of the game starting. Rodgers found the side netting, before Lee was denied glory at the opposite end.

Acton found a Lloyd-Williams shot a little taxing, and had to dive full into it to save any TNS blushes. The penalty was paid, and TNS received the game decider. Jamie Wood sent Worsnop the wrong way. Penalty converted, and 1-0 to the home side. Lee had previously been arbitrated to have handled from a Naylor cross. Finley received a straight red for the arguments that followed.
