Gillingham Secures Victory in Tense Match Against Oldham
Oldham, Greater Manchester – In a hard-fought match at Boundary Park, Gillingham secured a valuable away victory against Oldham in the sixth round of League Two. The match, officiated by Scott Jackson, was marked by intensity and numerous cautions. Oldham dominated possession with 56%, but failed to convert it into goals. The first half was a midfield battle, with constant interruptions and a flurry of yellow cards for both teams. Oldham accumulated five cards (J. Quigley, L. Hannant, R. Woods, J. Robson, and M. Monthe) while Gillingham received three (B. Dack, S. Gale, and J. Gbode). Despite having more shots (10 vs. 8) and more corners (7 vs. 2), Oldham’s effectiveness in front of goal was poor, with only three shots on target. The winning goal for Gillingham came in the 71st minute when S. Vokes capitalized on an assist from M. Clark to beat the home goalkeeper. Gillingham, with 44% possession, took their chance and defended their lead until the end. The high number of fouls committed by Gillingham (16 vs. Oldham’s 10) reflected the intensity of the match and their struggle to secure the three points.
