Scunthorpe United thrashed Boston United 6-0 on Saturday afternoon in a one-sided contest that Boston will want to forget quickly.
The home side took control from the opening minutes. Tom Cursons opened the scoring in the seventh minute, and Scunthorpe never looked back. Matthew Carson added a second at 21 minutes before Jake Rooney struck twice in quick succession around the half-hour mark, with Callum Roberts and Jordy Hiwula also finding the net before the break. Branden Horton completed a remarkable first half that left Boston thoroughly overwhelmed.
The second half offered Boston little relief. Alfie Beestin extended the lead almost immediately after the restart, and Aidan Dausch added another shortly after. Cursons scored his second of the afternoon on 50 minutes, and further goals from Callum Roberts, Carlton Ubaezuonu, and Gregory Sloggett compounded Boston's misery across the middle portion of the second period.
Late strikes from Kieren Donnelly, Andrew Wogan, Tyler Denton, Andrew Boyce, Ben Grist, and a third from Cursons rounded off an afternoon that exposed serious defensive frailties in the Boston United backline.
Scunthorpe were relentless in their pressing and purposeful in their movement, creating clear opportunities throughout. Boston offered almost nothing going forward and were unable to stem the tide at any point during the ninety minutes.
The scoreline reflects just how complete Scunthorpe's dominance was across the afternoon.
