Stephen Duke-McKenna got the goal that gave Harrogate Town a 1-0 win at Bristol Rovers in League Two, the Guyana international midfielder ensuring a gritty performance was rewarded in the 63rd minute at the Memorial Stadium.
Remarkably, the strike arrived from Harrogate's first shot on goal, settling a contest that Rovers had largely controlled before the break but could not turn into goals.
Rovers Dominate but Cannot Find a Way Through
Rovers, relegated from League One last season, were the better side in the first half but could not capitalise. Taylor Moore headed against the bar from a corner, and Anthony O'Connor's sliding challenge denied Alfie Kilgour from close range.
