Spireites (Eventually) Seal Success In Seesaw Showdown | Yeovil Town (FA Cup) Analysis
08.11.26, 13:42 5 Minute Read
Chesterfield secured their spot in the second round of the FA Cup on Saturday but not without some significant scares, eventually overcoming National League outfit Yeovil Town 4-3 in a thriller at the SMH Group Stadium.
After briefly trailing via Slavi Spasov's penalty, the Spireites looked to have taken control of the tie thanks to a Josh Koroma goal sandwiched in between an unlikely brace from centre-back Jack Simpson.
However, Yeovil would rally to level the game again at 3-3 through James Daly and Hayden Muller, before substitute Joel Randall struck the seventh and ultimately decisive goal of the match with a little over a minute of normal time remaining.
