A late goal from substitute Johl Powell earned Yeovil Town a vital 1-0 victory at Kidderminster Harriers, lifting the Glovers into the National League play-off places. The 74th-minute strike at Aggborough Stadium secured all three points on Saturday afternoon, moving Yeovil up to sixth in the standings with 18 points from their opening ten games.
Goal and build-up
With the game goalless, manager Billy Rowley introduced Powell for Zain Westbrooke in the 67th minute. The change paid off just seven minutes later. Slavi Spasov played a precise through ball that sent Powell clear, and the forward kept his composure to slot home the decisive goal. "Loads of positives to take from it."
Looking ahead
The result ended Kidderminster's unbeaten start to the season and extended Yeovil's own winning run. The Glovers now turn their attention to a double-header at Huish Park, starting with a home game against National League newcomers Worthing on Tuesday night. This next fixture presents an opportunity for Yeovil to build momentum in front of their own supporters. Rowley will be assessing his squad options, with the defensive unit looking to maintain its solidity and the attacking players aiming to build on Powell's match-winning impact. The team's current position in the standings provides a strong platform as they approach a busy period of the season.
