YEOVIL, England (Interstat) — Yeovil Town opened its National League season with a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Morecambe at Huish Park Stadium on Saturday, March 21, 2026, overcoming a two-goal deficit in a match that defied pregame projections.

The visitors from Morecambe stunned the home crowd by seizing a commanding early lead. Brett McGavin opened the scoring for Morecambe in the 10th minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse to slot home the game’s first goal. The advantage was doubled in the 34th minute when substitute Gwion Edwards, who had just entered the fray, found the net to put Morecambe firmly in control.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of 1-1, and with Yeovil Town struggling to create clear chances, that outcome seemed plausible. The company’s ELO system had given Yeovil Town a 66.50 percent probability to win, a figure that appeared increasingly optimistic as the first half concluded with Morecambe leading 2-0.

The complexion of the match transformed entirely in a blistering four-minute span early in the second half. Yeovil Town’s comeback was ignited by forward James Daly in the 58th minute, who halved the deficit with a well-taken finish. The equalizer followed swiftly, as midfielder Ryan Jones struck in the 62nd minute to level the score at 2-2, sending the home supporters into a frenzy.

With momentum fully shifted, Yeovil Town completed its remarkable reversal just four minutes later. The decisive goal arrived again from substitute Gwion Edwards, who netted his second of the game in the 66th minute to put Yeovil Town ahead for the first time at 3-2. Edwards’ double off the bench proved to be the critical performance in the match.

The frantic sequence of goals was preceded by a period of tension, as evidenced by yellow cards shown to Lewis Payne of Yeovil Town in the 36th minute and Paul Lewis of Morecambe in the 39th minute. Morecambe, pushing desperately for a late equalizer, saw Ben Tollitt booked in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time, but Yeovil Town’s defense held firm to secure the three points.

The result provides an ideal start to the domestic campaign for Yeovil Town, which improved its record in the National League to one win and no losses. Morecambe, conversely, begins its season with a defeat, falling to no wins and one loss. The records across all competitions for both clubs mirror their league starts following this fixture.

Key statistical contributions beyond the goal scorers included assists from Yeovil Town’s Paul Lewis and Lewis Payne, each credited with one. For Morecambe, midfielders Brett McGavin and Ryan Jones were influential, with McGavin adding a goal to his assist and Jones also finding the net.

The match served as an early-season statement for Yeovil Town, demonstrating resilience to overturn a significant deficit. For Morecambe, it was a case of a promising start unraveling under sustained second-half pressure, leaving them to regroup after letting a two-goal advantage slip away.
