Morecambe beat Tamworth 2-0 on Tuesday evening in a contest that the home side controlled for long stretches, though they needed a second-half goal to make the result secure.
Tamworth began brightly and created early pressure, but Morecambe settled into the game and Kennedy Digie gave them the lead on 17 minutes. Jack Nolan doubled the advantage seven minutes later, and the home side looked comfortable as the half progressed. Timothy Akindileni and Jordan Cullinane-Liburd were among those booked before the interval as the visiting side grew frustrated.
The second half opened with Haydn Hollis entering the action, and Tamworth pushed for a way back into the game. Yann Songo'o and Paul Lewis were replaced in quick succession around the hour mark, signalling a shift in Morecambe's shape. Chris Popov came on at 65 minutes, followed by Daniel Isichei two minutes later, as the home management looked to hold the tempo.
Gwion Edwards and George Thomas were withdrawn together in the 75th minute, and further changes arrived late as both teams shuffled their squads. Ryan Howley and Oliver Lynch came on at 82 minutes, with Tyler Roberts also introduced. Ben Tollitt added his name to the evening's activity in the 89th minute, before Lynch saw further involvement at 84.
Morecambe managed the closing stages without alarm and saw the result out to register a composed home victory.
