Forest Green come from behind but fail to end winless run
Posted Sunday, March 06, 2022 by PA
League Two leaders Forest Green’s winless run extended to five games after an end-to-end 1-1 draw with Salford.
Rovers started brightly at the Peninsula Stadium but it was Salford who opened the scoring against the run of play.
A teasing ball floated in from Jason Lowe on the right-hand side was met by Matt Smith, who nodded the ball low to Luke McGee’s left for his second goal in a Salford shirt.
The visitors drew level early in the second half after Kane Wilson’s low cross was converted from inside the six-yard box by Matty Stevens.
The remainder of the second half was played on a knife-edge with both sides pushing for a winner and finding plenty of openings, possibly the biggest of which fell to Rovers forward Jamille Matt in the 90th minute.
A long ball forward found the striker who tussled his way in behind Jordan Turnbull and found himself one on one with Tom King. Turnbull, however, made a superb last-ditch recovery challenge, prompting penalty appeals from Rovers which were ignored by referee Declan Bourne.
