Boston United came from behind to beat Yeovil Town 1-0 in a match that shifted decisively in the second half, with the visitors unable to convert their early dominance into a winning return.
Aaron Jarvis gave Yeovil the lead on 16 minutes, and for the opening quarter-hour they looked the more composed side, moving the ball with purpose and pinning Boston back. Jake Rooney levelled seven minutes later, and from that point the match became increasingly contested, with neither side establishing clear authority before the interval.
The second half brought a flurry of changes from both dugouts as the game opened up. Oisín Gallagher entered the fray on 57 minutes, followed quickly by James Daly two minutes later, and Finn Cousin-Dawson added further impetus after the hour mark. Jordy Hiwula grew into the contest and made his presence felt, first on 68 minutes and again at 73, drawing attention from Yeovil's defensive shape at regular intervals.
The decisive moment arrived on 78 minutes when Troy Perret converted to put Boston ahead, with Millar Matthews-Lewis also introduced at that point to help Boston manage the remainder. Marcel Lavinier came on with six minutes left as Boston sought to protect their lead, and late entries from Gregory Sloggett and Lenell John-Lewis for Yeovil could not produce an equaliser.
Boston held firm to collect three points, their organisation in the closing stages proving the difference on a day when Yeovil had reasons to feel they left something behind.
