AN ALAN Connell goal was enough for Swindon to secure a 1-0 win over Plymouth this afternoon, but Town will have to wait at least three days to officially secure promotion.
The substitute pounced five minutes from time to slot the ball home for the only goal of the game after good work from Luke Rooney kept the ball in play.
But with Torquay and Crawley both drawing at home, Town will have to wait until their visit to Aldershot on Tuesday to secure promotion.
Paolo Di Canio’s men are 12 points clear of Crawley with four games to play, but have a much better goal difference than the Red Devils.
Here are the key moments from the match.
7mins: Paul Caddis swings in a great cross which Paul Benson heads against the bar.
21mins: Simon Ferry makes space for himself in the box but shoots straight at Jake Cole.
35mins: Lee Holmes puts in a good low cross, which Benson steals off the fingertips of Cole, but he can only divert the ball wide.
HALF TIME
46mins: Wes Foderingham comes flying out of his area and only just gets to the ball before Argyle striker Warren Feeney.
63mins: Substitute Ashley Hemmings fires wide for the visitors.
69mins: Big appeals for a penalty as Luke Rooney’s shot looks to strike Da
85mins: GOAL Town take the lead as Connell picks up the ball after Rooney keeps it in, and fires into the back of the net.
