Halifax Town
Scunthorpe United
Scunthorpe United secured a valuable away victory at Halifax Town through substitute Declan Howe's decisive 82nd-minute winner. The Iron showed resilience after Patrick Jones gave them an early lead, only for W. Harris to level proceedings midway through the first half. The match turned scrappy in the second period with multiple bookings and wholesale changes from both sides, but Howe's introduction proved inspired as he found the net just minutes after coming on. This result lifts Scunthorpe's momentum in what has been an inconsistent campaign, while Halifax will rue their inability to capitalize on home advantage despite creating opportunities to take all three points.
How entertaining was this match?
