Pontypridd were also reduced to 10 men with 20 minutes remaining after Jarrad Wright received his second yellow card. Tom Vincent gave Met the lead with a header from Lewis Rees' corner before Elliot Evans' curling strike made certain of the win with five minutes remaining.

Aberystwyth Town 2-4 Caernarfon Town: Aberystwyth remain bottom and without a win this season, although they did manage their first goals of the campaign. Harry Owen got the first after only four minutes only for Zack Clarke to level two minutes later. After Dion Donohue put Caernarfon ahead, Iwan Lewis levelled for Aber before half-time. But two second-half strikes from Adam Davies saw Caernarfon triumph.
Barry Town United 1-4 Connah's Quay Nomads: Nomads made it three league wins in a row with a comprehensive victory at Barry Town United, despite falling behind to Oliver Hulbert's first-half goal. Jordan Davies equalised five minutes before the break and the visitors were ahead at half-time through Jack Kenny. Davies' second and John Disney after the break sealed the points and left Barry still seeking their first win of the season.
Haverfordwest County 0-4 Newtown: Newtown made it back-to-back victories thanks to an impressive triumph at Haverfordwest. Both sides had secured their first wins of the campaign last time out, but it was Newtown who claimed some revenge for their defeat by County in last May's European play-off final. Henry Cowans opened the scoring before Aaron Williams struck either side of half time, with Zeli Ismail adding the fourth in stoppage time.
Penybont 0-1 Colwyn Bay: Colwyn Bay won in the league for the first time this season and their first ever top-flight victory to enf a run of three straight defeats - thanks to Alex Downes' 76th-minute goal. That meant back-to-back league defeats for Rhys Griffiths' Penybont.
