Match Report: Solihull Moors v Yeovil Town

Yeovil Town were left on the brink of relegation being confirmed as a 2-2 draw with Solihull Moors left them 8 points adrift with 9 points to play for. Two goals from Josh Kelly midway in the first half put the home side 2-0 up but Yeovil fought back with goals from Zanda Siziba and Owen Bevan to take home a point.

Mark Cooper made three changes to the side that was beaten by Dorking Wanderers on Easter Monday. Will Buse replaced Grant Smith between the sticks while Max Hunt and Jordan Young replaced the suspended Chiori Johnson and Scott Pollock who dropped to the bench.

Yeovil opted for a 5-3-2 formation with Jamie Reckord, Max Hunt, Josh Staunton, Owen Bevan and Miguel Freckleton in front of Will Buse. Jordan Maguire-Drew, Matt Worthington and Charlie Cooper made up the middle while Jordan Young and Malachi Linton were up front.

On the bench was Grant Smith, Reo Griffiths, Andrew Oluwabori, Zanda Siziba and Scott Pollock.

Solihull made the better start to the game and put Yeovil under pressure early. On six minutes a wayward pass allowed Solihull to counter attack and a shot from Jake Stevens had to be pushed around the post by Buse. From the resulting corner a header from Callum Howe hit the bar.

Solihull continued to control the game and took the lead on 23 minutes when Josh Kelley unleashed a shot from 10 yards that beat Buse.

Five minutes later it was 2-0 when a shot from Jack Stevens was blocked by a hand and a penalty was awarded. Josh Kelly put the ball into the bottom right with Buse diving the other way.

Yeovil made their first substitution on 29 minutes when Max Hunt was replaced by Andrew Oluwabori.

The rest of the half was a dejected performance, and Yeovil went in trailing at half time.

Half Time: Solihull Moors 2-0 Yeovil Town

Yeovil made a double substitution at half time as Reo Griffiths and Zanda Siziba replaced Jordan Young and Jordan Maguire-Drew.

With just 7 minutes of the second half gone Yeovil pulled one back when substitute Zanda Siziba produced a neat finish into the bottom corner.

Yeovil were playing much better in the second half and were creating a number of chances which Ryan Boot had to save.

Yeovil still had to be cautious as the defensive weakness was still present. Josh Kelly broke clear of the Yeovil defence and saw his shot go narrowly wide of the post on 74 minutes.

With 8 minutes left Yeovil levelled the scores when a shot from the edge of the area from Owen Bevan found it's way into the net through a busy penalty area.

6 minutes of time was added on and Yeovil took home a point for their efforts.

Full Time: Solihull Moors 2-2 Yeovil Town

The second half was much better but unfortunately it is just too late. Aldershot and Torquay won today which means that if we fail to win at Wrexham and Aldershot fail to win, relegation will be confirmed. What could possibly go wrong?
