Braintree Town 2-0 Eastleigh

Braintree beat Eastleigh to continue their National League play-off push, as both sides finished with 10-men.

Simeon Akinola opened the scoring with a fine solo effort, nutmegging his marker before firing into the net.

The Spitfires' Jamie Turley was then sent off for a second booking after a scything tackle on Akinola.

Braintree's Matt Fry was also dismissed for two yellow cards, but Akinola doubled their lead from close-range to seal the win.
