Yeovil Town and Worthing Share the Spoils in National League Draw

Yeovil Town and Worthing played out a competitive 1-1 draw in the English National League on September 30, 2026. Both sides had spells of control, but neither could find a winning goal in a tense finish at Huish Park.

Yeovil started the brighter and took the lead in the 22nd minute. A well-worked corner was flicked on at the near post, and the ball was bundled home from close range. The home side pressed for a second, with their winger causing problems down the right, but Worthing’s goalkeeper made two important saves to keep the deficit at one.

Worthing Respond After the Break

Worthing improved after half-time, pressing higher and winning more possession in midfield. Their equaliser arrived in the 61st minute when a quick passing move opened up the Yeovil defence, and a low shot from the edge of the box found the bottom corner.

Both teams pushed for a winner. Yeovil hit the post in the 74th minute, while Worthing forced a spectacular save from the Yeovil goalkeeper in the 88th. In stoppage time, Yeovil thought they had scored, but a last-ditch block denied them.

Key Moments and Tactical Battle

• 22' — Yeovil Town take the lead from a set piece.
• 61' — Worthing equalise with a slick move through midfield.
• 74' — Yeovil strike the post.
• 88' — Worthing denied by a fine save.

Yeovil’s direct approach caused problems early, but Worthing’s midfield adjustments helped them gain a foothold. Worthing’s substitutes added energy, while Yeovil’s defence stood firm under late pressure. The draw was a fair reflection of a game where both defences were stronger than the attacks for long periods.

Season Impact

Yeovil Town remain in the hunt for a playoff place but will see this as two points dropped at home. Worthing, meanwhile, will take confidence from a solid away performance. In a tightly packed National League table, every point matters, and both managers will know that consistency in the coming weeks will define their seasons.
