Sol Brynn claimed his tenth clean sheet of the season in Swindon Town's 3-0 win over Harrogate Town.
The Robins’ comfortable home triumph got their play-off push back on track and sees them just four points shy of seventh-placed Mansfield Town.
In the Championship, Joe Lumley almost joined Brynn in the clean sheet camp but the Reading keeper was denied his seventh of the season in agonising circumstances, Sonny Carey netting a 94th-minute consolation during Reading’s 3-1 victory over Blackpool.
Sticking between the posts, Ollie Swan bagged a first three points with Marske United in midweek, in what proved to be Curtis Woodhouse’s final game in charge. The Seasiders then announced Carl Jarrett the following day for his third stint at the club but the seventh-tier outfit suffered a 2-1 defeat to play-off hopefuls Warrington Town on Saturday.
Back in the second tier, Grant Hall will miss Rotherham United’s trip to Swansea City this evening after sustaining another hamstring injury. The defender went down during The Millers’ 2-1 victory over Sunderland in midweek and faces a race against time to return before the end of the season.
“He will be out for a significant period of time,” said Matt Taylor after the match. “The initial scan results aren't great, we can't hide away from that fact. It is a real shame for Grant and all of us as his form, since his return, has been excellent.”
In South America, Martin Payero played the opening hour for Boca Juniors as the Argentine champions sealed successive wins in the Primera Division.
Meanwhile, Josh Coburn was a second-half substitute as Bristol Rovers ended a run of eight matches without a win, besting Oxford United 3-0 at The Kassam Stadium. Over in Glasgow, Hayden Coulson was also deployed from the bench in Aberdeen’s 1-0 victory against Livingston.
Elsewhere, Kamil Conteh featured for Gateshead in their 1-1 draw at Maidstone United. The point sees the Heed climb back out of the National League relegation zone.
But it was defeat Calum Kavanagh and Newport County, the Welsh side going down 2-0 at home to Sutton United.
