Eastleigh 1-0 Boreham Wood
- Published
An injury-time penalty earned Eastleigh a 1-0 victory over Boreham Wood in a major boost to their National League play-off hopes.
The Spitfires threw everything at their opponents in the final stages and were rewarded when the referee pointed to the spot, with Joe Tomlinson converting two minutes into added time.
Boreham Wood hit the bar in the first half through Gus Mafuta, while Eastleigh had an 88th-minute effort ruled out for offside.
Eastleigh are among five teams within two points of each other in the race for sixth and seventh places, and crucially they have a game in hand on all their rivals.
The Hampshire side, who are ninth, travel to Altrincham on Tuesday knowing that victory will lift them up to sixth place in the table.
