Wealdstone beat Yeovil Town 2-1 in a match that shifted decisively in the second half, with the home side doing enough to secure three points despite a nervy final quarter.
Yeovil had looked the more composed side in the opening stages, and Terrell Works gave them the lead on 38 minutes, rewarding their patient build-up play with a well-taken finish. Wealdstone struggled to find a response before the interval, but the tone changed almost immediately after the restart.
James Daly equalised for Wealdstone two minutes into the second half, and the momentum swung sharply. Troy Perret was dismissed for Yeovil on 48 minutes, reducing them to ten men and altering the complexion of the contest entirely. Alex Whittle then put Wealdstone ahead on 54 minutes, converting the opportunity that Yeovil's numerical disadvantage had handed the home side.
A flurry of substitutions around the hour mark brought fresh legs to both benches, though Yeovil had little opportunity to reorganise effectively. Michael Adu-Poku came on for Wealdstone in the 77th minute as they looked to protect their advantage, and Dom Hutchinson followed three minutes later to add further cover.
Harvey Greenslade's late appearance in stoppage time underlined Wealdstone's desire to see the game out, and they managed it without serious incident. Yeovil pressed in the closing stages but without the cohesion to threaten a leveller.
Wealdstone move upward in the table. Yeovil will reflect on a red card that cost them.
