Woking beat Aldershot Town 2-1 in a match that shifted decisively in the final quarter of an hour, with the home side ultimately rewarded for their persistence across a fractious afternoon.
Aldershot made the brighter start. Tim Akinola gave them the lead in the seventh minute, and the visitors carried that confidence through the opening exchanges before Joseph Gbode levelled for Woking five minutes later. The match then settled into a more contested rhythm, with Harry Beautyman prominent for the home side, drawing a booking in the 21st minute before being cautioned again later to see him dismissed in the 81st.
Jamie Andrews was cautioned for Woking in the 23rd minute, and Brody Peart added his name to the referee's book before half-time, with S. Inwood booked just before the interval. The second half opened with further disruption. Beautyman's sending-off left Woking reduced to ten men with work still to do.
Theo Widdrington received two bookings in quick succession, departing in the 67th minute, and Tyler Frost completed his side's turnaround in the 68th. Tunji Akinola and J. Forster-Caskey were withdrawn simultaneously as the game entered its final phase.
Dale Gorman received two late bookings to follow Widdrington out, and Kwame Thomas was also cautioned. Despite the attrition, Woking held on. Ryheem Sheckleford secured the points in the 86th minute, and the two points were theirs.
