Kabongo Tshimanga fires Boreham Wood to victory at Maidenhead
Posted Sunday, March 08, 2020 by PA
Kabongo Tshimanga was on the scoresheet again as promotion-chasing Boreham Wood defeated Maidenhead 1-0 at York Road.
Tshimanga took his National League tally for the season to 18 with a first-half winner as the Wood, who have now only lost once in 19 league matches, moved up to fourth.
The 22-year-old striker was unable to make the most of a 16th-minute chance to put the visitors ahead but made no mistake six minutes later when he turned home a cross from Tyrone Marsh.
The Wood came close to doubling their lead midway through the second half when Marsh – looking for his 15th goal of the campaign – was denied by a good save from Taye Ashby-Hammond.
Visiting goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore then took centre-stage with fine stops to keep out efforts from Odysseus Alfa and Josh Kelly.
Ashmore was sent off in stoppage time after picking up a second yellow card, but it was too late for relegation-battling Maidenhead to avoid slumping to a fourth-successive defeat.
