Truro City
Gateshead
Harry Chapman's clinical double gave Gateshead a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Truro City in a match that swung on the striker's ability to capitalize on his chances. After Chapman opened the scoring on 19 minutes, Tyler Harvey briefly restored parity for the hosts with a well-taken equalizer seven minutes later. However, Chapman struck again nine minutes into the second half to secure all three points for the visitors. The match became increasingly fractious as it wore on, with six yellow cards distributed and both managers making multiple substitutions in search of the decisive moment. This result will boost Gateshead's confidence as they look to climb the National League table, while Truro will rue their inability to build on Harvey's equalizer in what proved to be a crucial period just before halftime.
