Halifax managed two consolation goals from Andrew Dallas and Ashley Palmer.

The result defied pregame projections that favored Halifax. Southend’s comprehensive win, fueled by contributions from across its squad, improves its league record to 22 wins, 10 losses and 12 draws. Halifax falls to 19 wins, 16 losses and 12 draws.
