The National League served up a feast of footballing drama on September 2, 2025, with goals flying in, managers seeing red, and one match halted by a medical emergency.
From late equalizers to dominant away wins, the day had it all. Let’s dive into the action from the five matches played tonight
Braintree Town 1-2 Tamworth
Over at Braintree Town, Tamworth battled their way to a gritty victory.
The hosts found themselves trailing 0-1 at the break, staring down a tough second half. But hope sparked in the 49th minute when Frankie rose above the defence to nod in a pinpoint corner, levelling the score at 1-1.
The home crowd’s cheers were short-lived, though, as Ben Enoru struck for Tamworth in the 73rd minute, restoring their lead and clinching a hard-earned three points.
Tamworth’s resilience shone through, leaving Braintree Town to rue missed chances.
Eastleigh 1-1 Scunthorpe United (Abandoned)
The clash at Eastleigh promised drama, and it delivered—though not in the way anyone expected.
Scunthorpe United took the lead in the 83rd minute through Dan Howe, who found the net to silence the home crowd.
Eastleigh refused to go down quietly, with Harvey Saunders popping up in the 90’+2 minute to equalize at 1-1, sparking wild celebrations.
But the joy was cut short when a medical issue forced the match to be abandoned. Our thoughts at National League Natter are with those affected, as we await news on the players involved.
Morecambe 1-3 Forest Green Rovers
Forest Green Rovers were in relentless form, marching to a commanding 3-1 victory at Morecambe. Kairo Mitchell proved the difference-maker, slotting home in the 48th minute to cement Forest Green’s dominance. Morecambe struggled to find answers, their defence unable to cope with the visitors’ attacking prowess.

Solihull Moors 0-1 Yeovil Town
In a tightly contested battle at Damson Park, Yeovil Town edged out Solihull Moors with a 1-0 victory.
