Notts County
Grimsby Town
Grimsby Town secured a dramatic 1-0 victory at Meadow Lane through Charles Vernam's 85th-minute strike, capitalizing on Notts County's numerical disadvantage after Lee Ndlovu's 76th-minute dismissal for a reckless foul. The Magpies dominated possession for large periods but struggled to create clear-cut chances, with manager making double substitutions at half-time to inject pace through Harald Tangen and Matthew Dennis. Grimsby showed tactical discipline throughout, sitting compact and looking to hit on the counter, with Vernam's late winner rewarding their patient approach. The result strengthens Grimsby's League Two campaign while leaving Notts County to rue missed opportunities and poor discipline in a fixture they needed to control at home.
