Bristol Rovers secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Newport County at the Memorial Stadium, with Yusuf Akhamrich's first-half brace setting the tone for a dominant display. The Gas took control early and never looked back, exploiting space behind Newport's defense with pace and precision. Akhamrich proved to be the difference-maker in the opening half-hour, capitalizing on poor defensive positioning to double his side's advantage before the break. Late substitute Fabrizio Cavegn put the cherry on top with two minutes remaining, ensuring Rovers moved further away from the relegation zone while leaving Newport still searching for consistency in League Two.
