Newtown secured a 2-1 away victory over Mold Alexandra in the Welsh Championship's North section, a result that keeps the visitors in second place while the hosts remain fifth. The match, played on October 3rd, saw three goals after the interval and a red card that shifted the balance.
It was Newtown who struck first through I. Kargbo in the 54th minute, taking advantage of what looked like a moment of concentration lapse. Mold responded with urgency, and H. Boakye equalised late on in stoppage time, turning it around after the break to give the home side something to cheer about.
But L. Gregson had already put the visitors ahead in the 69th minute, and by then the complexion of the game had changed. L. Hogan received a red card in the 70th minute, and with an extra man, Newtown held every card. The equaliser came too late for Mold — by then the visitors had already put the game to bed early.
Mold sit fifth with 18 points from 10 games, their record reading five wins, three draws and two defeats. Newtown are not far behind on the table — second place, 22 points from nine matches, seven wins and a single loss. The gap between them is small, and this result means neither side has fallen off their recent run.
