    It is very important St Albans don't concede and they've made some personnel changes and put John Goddard up front with Shaun Jeffers.

    They obviously feel like Nicky Cadden is the danger and they want to stop him from getting on the ball.

    Yet another corner. The ball is being loaded into the mix with precision.

    The ball pinballs about in the box, Nicky Cadden thrashes a shot which breaks to Jordan Moore-Taylor, but his shot scuffs across the face of goal.

    Close for Forest Green.

    Matty Stevens wins the ball on half way and releases Jake Young down the right, who flicks on the turbo and gallops away before the cross is blocked.

    Corner turns to another corner. Forest Green hoping to square up before the break.

    Another corner as Shaun Jeffers heads away.

    St Albans 2-1 Forest Green

    Forest Green are trying to pull St Albans out of position and open up some gaps but the Saints are really well drilled.

    There's no charging in and losing shape. Very disciplined and calm approach having gone ahead.

    Corner from right and Jordan Moore-Taylor gets up to meet it, but his powerful header pumps off the top of the bar and away to safety.

    Forest Green still swinging.

    To go a goal down and look like they were suffering and find the character to get themselves back into the game and get themselves in front, you can see the confidence is coming out of them.

    Ian Allinson looks cool and composed on the bench, unmoved, but you'll know inside his heart will be bursting.

    St Albans are flying.

    Forest Green keep coming though, another terrific ball in by Nicky Cadden, met by Josh March but Michael Johnson gets a fingertip to it to clear over.

    Zane Banton

    Oh my word! Forest Green were almost in at one end but for a free-kick.

    St Albans power forward, Shaun Jeffers flicks onto Zane Banton who powers into the box, drops a shoulder, slaloms in and fires low past Luke McGee.

    What a finish, what a turnaround. What an atmosphere.

    Superb equaliser that comes from a set-piece.

    Ball was curled in, in-swinging by Johnny Goddard from the right, and Mitchell Weiss got in front of his marker and glanced it into the corner.

    Bedlam at Clarence Park. Huge celebrations.

    St Albans 0-1 Forest Green

    Forest Green striker Matty Stevens is enjoying a personal battle with the St Albans defence.

    This time, he's glanced Kane Wilson's stood up cross just wide of the target.

    Good leap to put Callum Adebiyi under pressure.

    St Albans 0-1 Forest Green

    Matty Stevens gets a shot away which is straight at Michael Johnson in the St Albans goal.

    Was able to wriggle his way in off the left and snap a shot on his right foot. Dave Diedhiou's early booking means he's having to stand off a bit when attacked.

    Talk about timing. Forest Green grab the lead with the home side growing in belief and it's cruelly ruthless from the League Two leaders.

    Nicky Cadden is the provider, bending in a vicious inswinger from the left on his right foot, and Matty Stevens darts in to prod home at the near post.

    Ten for the season for him and the lead.

    St Albans 0-0 Forest Green

    After a nervy first 10 minutes where they were almost entirely focused on defending, St Albans have come out of their shells now.

    They're relishing the possession. Wanting the ball.

    That said, Josh March just sauntered his way in behind and rolled a cross-shot which Dave Diedhiou just about hooked away with danger lurking.

    St Albans 0-0 Forest Green

    Brilliant moment for St Albans. They break swiftly and Zane Banton rolls a tantalising cross into the box and despite Shaun Jeffers' efforts, Jordan Moore-Taylor twice blocks it deflects wide.

    Really positive signs for the National League South side.

    Matty Stevens receives the ball from St Albans keeper Michael Johnson but can't get a shot away and the home side get back to clear.

    At the other end Shaun Jeffers chases down Jordan Moore Taylor and has him panicking but eventually gives Forest Green a free-kick.

    The free-kick was a good one but St Albans just couldn't connect with the delivery cleanly and it's cleared by the visitors.

    Forest Green appear to be decked out in a bit of camo. Very military chic.

    St Albans 0-0 Forest Green

    Nicky Cadden works a yard down the left for Forest Green after he was picked out beautifully on the touchline, and whizzes a cross across the box.

    It's turned behind for a corner, which St Albans deal with and then play their way out of danger before earning a free-kick in midfield.

    Really calm and cool despite the nerves and rushing adrenaline.

    St Albans 0-0 Forest Green

    Jack Aitchison puts the ball into that corridor of uncertainty between goalkeeper and defence at the back but St Albans clear well in the end.

    It was right into the mix, and it looks like the threat will largely come down the left for Rob Edwards' visitors.

    Dave Diedhiou leaves a marker on Forest Green winger Jake Young.

    It was what you might call a reducer.

    Forest Green reset and recompose, Kane Wilson strides forward and tees up Josh March, but Michael Johnson comes out to deny him.

    Brave and smart work.
