Huddersfield Town won 1-0 at Stevenage on Saturday lunchtime, a result that moved them further clear of the lower reaches of the division and left the hosts pointless on a difficult afternoon.
Stevenage had little grip on the contest from early on. Cameron Humphreys put Huddersfield ahead inside ten minutes, converting with enough composure to suggest the visitors had arrived with a clear plan. Ryan Ledson was booked in the 22nd minute, and Marcus Harness followed him into the referee's notebook two minutes later, adding a layer of tension to a first half that Huddersfield largely managed without alarm. D. Sweeney was cautioned before the interval, underlining the frustration building in the home ranks.
Stevenage introduced fresh legs as the second half progressed. D. Phillips received a yellow card on 61 minutes, while a cluster of substitutions around the hour mark, including Mickel Miller and J. Roberts coming on, reflected their need to alter the shape. Harry Cornick entered proceedings at the same time. C. Piergianni was booked in the 77th minute and then dismissed on 85 minutes, leaving Stevenage to see out the final stages with ten men.
D. Kemp was cautioned in the 82nd minute, and late bookings for Saxon Earley and Cameron Ashia confirmed a tetchy conclusion. Huddersfield defended their lead without drama. Stevenage created little to threaten it.
