Report
York City won their third successive pre-season friendly
as striker Craig Farrell and substitute Onome Sodje were both
on target in a 2-1 victory against Chesterfield at KitKat Crescent.
York City won their third successive pre-season friendly as
they defeated Chesterfield 2-1 at KitKat Crescent.
Home striker Craig Farrell curled a 20-yard effort narrowly
wide of the top corner following a tight opening.
But it was the visitors that went ahead on 31 minutes when striker
JACK LESTER beat the offside trap and expertly
chipped over keeper Tom Evans.
The York keeper then produced a fine instinctive save from Gregor
Robertson seven minutes later.
The Minstermen equalised in the 40th minute when a defensive
slip ended with keeper Barry Roche denying Paul Brayson before
FARRELL forced the ball home from a narrow
angle.
Chesterfield striker Lester broke free early in the second-half
and shot narrowly wide.
However it was the hosts that took the lead on 75 minutes when
skipper Emmanuel Panther allowed substitute ONOME SODJE
to beat keeper Roche.
Goalscorer Sodje was also denied three minutes later when once
more released against Roche, who then turned fellow substitute
Richard Brodie's late free-kick over the bar.
