Salford City
Walsall
Salford City secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Walsall thanks to a well-timed substitution that changed the game's complexion. The match remained goalless through a cagey first half and into the second period, with both sides struggling to create clear-cut chances. Neil Wood's triple substitution on 67 minutes proved inspired, bringing on fresh legs including veteran striker Fabio Borini, who made an immediate impact by finding the net just seven minutes after his introduction. The narrow victory helps Salford's push in the League Two table, while Walsall will rue their inability to capitalize on their opportunities before the hosts found their breakthrough.
