A dramatic late goal from Benony Breki Andresson has sent Stockport County fans into a frenzy, securing a crucial 1-0 victory over Huddersfield Town. This thrilling encounter, which could prove pivotal in the League One promotion race, saw Stockport dominate the first half, with Ollie Norwood's strike from a set-piece being the closest either side came to breaking the deadlock. However, Terriers defender Joe Low ensured the score remained level at the break.
As the second half progressed, Stockport's Odin Bailey tried his luck from distance, only to be denied by a superb save from Lee Nicholls. Huddersfield, despite their struggles to create clear-cut chances, nearly broke through on the counter-attack with 18 minutes remaining. Substitute Will Alves' cross found Bojan Radulovic, but his shot was blocked close to the goal line, keeping the game finely balanced.
But here's where it gets controversial: in the sixth minute of stoppage time, Stockport's persistence paid off. A well-executed free-kick routine saw substitute Andresson pounce at the back post to finish Jid Okeke's cross, sending the home crowd into raptures.
This result has huge implications for the promotion race, with Stockport now breathing down Huddersfield's neck. And this is the part most people miss: it's not just about the goals, but the tactics and resilience displayed by both teams.
So, what do you think? Is Stockport's late winner a sign of their promotion credentials, or was it a lucky break? Let us know in the comments, and remember, in football, it's the moments that matter!
