Match Report: Yeovil Town v Dagenham & Redbridge

Yeovil Town picked up their first win of the season this afternoon as they overcame Dagenham & Redbridge 1-0 at Huish Park. Jamie Reckord's fine first half goal was enough to give Yeovil the points as Dagenham couldn't find a way back into the game.

Chris Hargreaves made three changes to the side that drew with Altrincham last weekend. Max Hunt and Chiori Johnson dropped to the bench while Charlie Wakefield was out with an injury. Ben Richards-Everton, Gime Toure and Alfie Pond took their places.

Yeovil opted for a 3-5-2 formation with Alfie Pond, Josh Staunton and Ben Richards-Everton in front of Grant Smith. Morgan Williams, Matt Worthington, Lawson D'Ath, Jamie Reckord and Gime Toure made up the midfield while Alex Fisher and Malachi Linton lead the attack.

On the bench was Max Hunt, Jake Scrimshaw, Sam Perry, Chiori Johnson and Callum Rowe.

Dagenham kicked off towards the home terrace.

Yeovil were the side in control throughout the first half but few chances came for either side.

That was until the 34th minute when Alex Fisher's run wasn't dealt with by the Dagenham defence and he found Jamie Reckord who's shot flew past Elliot Justham to give Yeovil the lead.

Just before half time Dagenham made their first substitution as David Longe-King was replaced by Mauro Vilhete.

Half Time: Yeovil Town 1-0 Dagenham & Redbridge

Dagenham started the second half looking very dangerous and they had a few good chances early on. Myles Weston's cross in caused the Yeovil defence problems and the post eventually came to Town's rescue.

A few minutes later a goalmouth scramble was eventually put out for a corner. Before it was taken Yeovil made their first substitution as Lawson D'Ath was replaced by Sam Perry. The corner came to nothing.

On 63 minutes Dagenham made a double substitution as Mohammad Sagaf and Josh Walker were replaced by Omar Mussa and Junior Morais.

Yeovil also made a substitution as Alex Fisher was replaced by Callum Rowe.

After the early scares the game settled down and neither side were looking threatening.

Yeovil's final substitution came on 73 minutes as Gime Toure was replaced by Jake Scrimshaw.

The final 10 minutes were very uneventful and after the four minutes of time added was over Yeovil were able to finally celebrate their first win of the season.

Full Time: Yeovil Town 1-0 Dagenham & Redbridge

Not the best performance from Yeovil today but three points is always welcome. We've played better than this in recent games and lost so it was about time we were due for a win.
