Scott Boden’s late penalty earns Gateshead victory
Posted Sunday, September 02, 2018 by PA
Scott Boden held his nerve at the second time of asking as his late penalty earned Gateshead a 1-0 victory over Maidstone in the National League.
Lee Worgan saved Boden’s early spot-kick and the keeper won the pair’s next battle as well as the first half finished goalless, with Tom White also threatening twice for Gateshead as the interval approached.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with Gateshead unable to break the visitors down and Maidstone’s best chance coming on the counter after a Heed corner.
With three minutes remaining, though, Will de Haviland brought down Steven Rigg to concede a second penalty and spark a melee which brought red cards for Maidstone’s Blair Turgott and Gateshead’s JJ O’Donnell.
Boden stepped up again to send Worgan the wrong way and score the winner.
