Key Match Notes

  • ▸ Elliott List's goal in the 59th minute shifted the momentum in favor of Stevenage, who capitalized on Scunthorpe's inability to find the back of the net
  • ▸ Stevenage's early discipline issues, with three yellow cards in the first half, could have impacted their rhythm but did not deter their defensive strategy
