Forest Green Rovers fell to a 0-3 defeat at home on Saturday, with Wealdstone thoroughly outplaying their hosts across the ninety minutes to record a convincing away victory.
The visitors took control early. Tom Knowles opened the scoring in the sixth minute, giving Wealdstone a lead they would not relinquish. Forest Green struggled to impose themselves and, before the half was out, Neil Kengni made it two in the 25th minute. Terrell Agyemang added a third before the break, leaving the home side with an uncomfortable deficit to overturn.
The second half brought no revival for Rovers. A flurry of substitutions on both sides at the hour mark disrupted the rhythm of the game without altering its outcome. Mason Barrett and Dom Hutchinson were among those introduced, but Forest Green could not manufacture the openings they needed. Wealdstone, composed and organised, were content to manage the game on their own terms.
Neil Kengni completed a fine personal display with a second goal early in the second half, and the afternoon was effectively settled long before the final whistle. Jose Marquez might have added further gloss in stoppage time but it mattered little by then.
Forest Green were beaten in every department. Wealdstone pressed consistently, won their defensive duels, and punished the home side's vulnerabilities with a directness that the hosts had no answer to.
