AFC Telford 0 Stockport 1 - Report

The home side enjoyed the majority of possession and created the better chances but once again could not find the finishing touch.

A single goal from Calum Dyson a quarter of an hour into the National League North match was enough to give Stockport all three points.

The result means Telford have picked up just one point this season and the side will be licking their wounds after wasting some good chances.

Stockport, playing in bright pink, were cheered on by a boisterous fan base and enjoyed the better of the opening exchanges.

Clancy nearly gifted the visitor's an early lead with a woeful back pass but Montgomery reacted quick enough to save clear the danger.

A deflected shot from Joe Gavin also ended up in Montgomery's hands early on as Telford took time to settle into the game.

Stockport took the lead when a long free kick found Dyson in space, who turned and slotted the ball home from about 15 yards.

Bakayoko was nearly through on goal soon after following a huge clearance but the 'keeper came out to collect.

Telford were unlucky to go in at the break one down having had almost all the possession, but Dyson nearly gave Stockport a two goal cushion early in the second-half only to see his effort cleared.

Bakayoko had a great chance to find the equaliser but he rifled a half volley high and wide from all of six yards.
