Substitute Helm Lifts Fleetwood Town to Road Win Over Walsall

WALSALL, England (Interstat) — Substitute Mark Helm scored in the 15th minute to give Fleetwood Town a 1-0 victory over Walsall in a League Two match Tuesday at Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium.

The early goal, assisted by fellow substitute Shaun Rooney, proved decisive. Fleetwood Town’s defense held firm to secure the away win, defying pre-match projections that heavily favored the hosts. Rooney received a yellow card in the 41st minute.

The result improves Fleetwood Town’s League Two record to 13 wins, 12 losses and nine draws. Walsall, which failed to score at home, falls to 15 wins, 11 losses and seven draws in the league.
