In a pulsating encounter at Damson Park, Solihull Moors staged a remarkable second-half comeback to secure a commanding 4-1 victory over Sutton United. The scoreline, however, belies a first half that remained goalless and largely uneventful, a stark contrast to the goal-laden frenzy that was to follow.
The deadlock was finally broken in the 49th minute when Sutton United’s Will Tizzard found the net, momentarily silencing the home support and putting the visitors ahead. However, Solihull Moors responded with immediate and decisive action. Just four minutes later, Darius Lipsiuc levelled the scores, assisted by Tyrese Sinclair, sparking a surge of confidence through the Moors’ ranks.
The momentum had firmly shifted, and Solihull Moors capitalised ruthlessly. Tyrese Sinclair himself then got on the scoresheet in the 55th minute, with Ben Worman providing the assist, to give the home side the lead. The attacking onslaught continued, and Scott High extended Solihull’s advantage just four minutes after that, again set up by the influential Tyrese Sinclair, making it 3-1.
The visitors’ task became considerably more difficult in the 82nd minute when Edon Pruti was shown a second yellow card, reducing Sutton United to ten men. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Sutton United battled on, but their efforts were ultimately in vain.
In the dying moments of the match, Scott High bagged his second goal of the afternoon, and Solihull Moors’ fourth, in the 94th minute. The assist came from substitute Joe Sbarra, who had been introduced earlier in the second half. This goal was scored after the red card incident, highlighting the dramatic turn of events.
The victory sees Solihull Moors climb to 12th in the English National League standings with 31 points from 23 matches, having been in 13th place before kick-off. Sutton United remain in 18th position with 22 points from 22 games. This result represents a significant boost for Solihull Moors as they aim to consolidate their mid-table position, while Sutton United will be looking to regroup and address the defensive frailties exposed in the latter stages of the contest.
