Brett McGavin's set-piece delivery rescued a point for Yeovil Town in a 1-1 draw with Worthing at Huish Park. The Glovers fell behind to Razzaq Coleman De-Graft's 28th-minute strike but levelled shortly after the restart through a Worthing own goal.
Key moments
Coleman De-Graft opened the scoring just before the half-hour, with the forward later saying he was "firing an effort fortuitously beyond the reach of Glovers stopper Jos Barker." Yeovil responded quickly after the break. McGavin whipped a free-kick from near the left corner flag and it ricocheted off Worthing defender Joe Cook, who admitted to "inadvertently turning the ball into his own goal." Jos Barker made several important saves in the first half to keep his side in the contest, while Jack Kingdon produced a vital block to deny Cory Adjetey-Brew a late winner.
Late push and context
The equaliser lifted the atmosphere inside Huish Park, where 2,784 fans watched on. Yeovil made three substitutions in the second half as they pushed for a winner, introducing fresh legs in Marcus Obeng, Sam Walker and Charlie Lennon. The single point keeps Yeovil Town sixth in the National League table with 19 points from 11 games. They now prepare to host 19th-placed Boston United this Saturday, aiming to turn recent draws into wins.
