Southend United 1 Yeovil Town, with the visitors winning by a margin that the event data suggests was considerable, though the precise final score requires clarification from the available timeline.
Yeovil imposed themselves on this Tuesday evening fixture from the outset. Gus Scott-Morriss opened the scoring as early as the fourth minute, and though Oliver Coker pulled one back for Southend in the eleventh, Scott-Morriss restored Yeovil's advantage before the half-hour was out, striking again in the 37th minute to send the visitors in ahead at the interval.
Aaron Jarvis extended the lead immediately after the restart, a goal timed at 46 minutes that effectively settled the contest before Southend had opportunity to reorganise. Jake Wannell added a fifth in the 64th minute, and the game's closing stages brought further punishment for the home side as Sam Austin, Jack Bridge, Tom Hopper, and Alfie Massey all entered the fray together in the 73rd minute, signalling Yeovil's intent to manage the occasion rather than chase further goals.
Harvey Greenslade and Keenan Appiah-Forson scored in the 81st and 84th minutes respectively, with Wannell completing his brace a minute later. Millar Matthews-Lewis added another in the 87th, before Harry Boyes and Ben Goodliffe contributed in the final moments.
Southend offered little after Coker's early equaliser. Yeovil were disciplined, direct, and thoroughly in command throughout.
