Solihull Moors 3-2 Boston United

Craig Singleton21 Apr - 20:04

Boston United saw two winning positions evaporate against Solihull Moors as the wait to secure National League status extended beyond the Easter period.

Zak Mills and Connor Teale had sandwiched a spectacular Jamey Osborne goal before the break and United were in full control until Solihull were awarded a 72nd minute penalty, which Tahvon Campbell dispatched.

With the match seemingly petering out into a stalemate, home full-back James Clarke won it for Solihull with the last noteworthy action of the contest - seven minutes into stoppage time.

United were forced into two changes ahead of kick-off, with Noah Wadsworth and James Gale replacing the injured Cameron Green and Frankie Maguire.

The Pilgrims got off to a blistering start, with MILLS hooking the ball home inside the second minute after Greg Sloggett had rattled the post on the end of Brad Nicholson's long throw.

Moors levelled five minutes later with OSBORNE seizing on a stray clearance to lash home a brilliant effort from 25 yards, which gave Cameron Gregory no chance.

Gregory subsequently saved well to deny Bradley Stevenson - and United re-established their lead eight minutes before the break when Nicholson kept Wadsworth's free-kick alive and TEALE swivelled to fire home his third goal of the season.

United had chances to kill the contest in the early stages of the second half, with Laurie Walker saving well to deny Jai Rowe, Jacob Hazel and Jordan Richards.

The game swung decisively when Wadsworth upended lively sub Fletcher Holman - with CAMPBELL sending Gregory the wrong way from the spot.

Neither side looked overly like finding a winning goal - until Szhem Whyte-Hall's long throw caused bother in the United box, with Hazel and Gale both off the pitch - and CLARKE heading powerfully beyond the despairing dive of Gregory.
