Morecambe 1-2 Forest Green Rovers

  • Published

Late goals from Jake Young and Jamille Matt kept Forest Green in the League Two play-of with victory at Morecambe.

Mark Cooper's side looked set for defeat after a first-half goal from A-Jay Leitch-Smith but the game turned on its head in the final stages.

Morecambe took the lead in the 19th minute with a fine finish from Leitch-Smith, who drilled a superb low effort into the bottom left corner from just inside the box.

The second half started with Aaron Wildig coming close to doubling the home side's lead as he took advantage of Luke McGee's poor clearance to pick up the loose ball but his effort came back off the crossbar.

From there Forest Green looked the sharper side.

Odin Bailey struck the crossbar with a 25-yard eftort before Young brought the visitors level with a fine finish from eight yards after 79 minutes.

Three minutes later Matt sealed the points with a powerful header after a perfect cross from Bailey.
