Forest Green 2-0 Cambridge: Jamille Matt on target in routine Rovers victory
Saturday 12 December 2020 18:04, UK
Second-half goals from Aaron Collins and Jamille Matt saw Forest Green to a 2-0 victory against a lacklustre Cambridge.
Collins broke the stalemate on 58 minutes when he pounced on Odin Bailey's pass to evade Callum Burton.
Matt then made it 2-0 from the penalty spot six minutes later after Cambridge's Luke Hannant had fouled Ebou Adams.
With home supporters back in the ground, a high-octane opening saw Collins fire wide from the edge of the box.
Cambridge responded, with Paul Mullin clipping the top of the bar on 14 minutes after Wes Hoolahan's exquisite ball had played him in.
