Newport County
Cambridge United
Cambridge United secured a crucial 2-0 victory at Newport County with two goals in the final quarter-hour turning a tight contest decisively in their favor. The match was a scrappy affair with four yellow cards and multiple substitutions as both managers tried to find the breakthrough. Liam Bennett's 73rd-minute opener finally broke the deadlock after a largely cagey encounter, before substitute Sullay Kaikai added the insurance goal just three minutes after coming on. This result will significantly boost Cambridge's League Two campaign, while Newport will rue their inability to capitalize on home advantage in what appeared to be an evenly-matched contest for most of the 90 minutes.
How entertaining was this match?
