Swindon 1 Tranmere 0 

RESULT: Swindon Town 1 Tranmere Rovers 0

Town scorer: N'Guessan 29 (pen)

 

Dany N'Guessan sealed three much-needed points for Town from the spot in a game lacking sparkle at the County Ground.

 

Tranmere's defensive formation held firm until Alec Pritchard was fouled in the box on the half-hour and N'Guessan slotted home.

 

"We have players playing to 60% of their ability because of injury," commented a relieved Mark Cooper, "so to win and keep a clean sheet is a real achievement."
