Solihull Moors 1-2 Aldershot Town
- Published
Inih Effiong's quickfire first-half double helped Aldershot Town end a four-match losing streak in the National League with a win at Solihull Moors.
Aldershot's slump had seen them fall down the table but they went ahead in the 14th minute when Effiong rose highest at the back post and headed well beyond Solihull goalkeeper Ryan Boot.
Effiong's header ended Aldershot's 244-minute wait for a goal in the league and the striker scored again moments after Moors had kicked off when he found space in the box and shot low past Boot.
Second-half substitute Bartosz Cybulski halved the deficit five minutes after the resumption, getting the final touch to bundle the ball over the line.
Cybulski and Andrew Dallas spurned gilt-edged opportunities late on as the hosts piled forward in search of an equaliser, but Aldershot held firm to end their recent lean run and move seven points clear of the relegation zone.
