FC Halifax Town's National League play-off challenge received a significant boost as they secured a 1-0 home win over struggling Morecambe. The Shaymen's striker, Will Harris, powered home his 14th goal of the season in all competitions, giving his side the lead. Angelo Cappello broke clear in midfield and slid in Harris, who drilled a low finish into the bottom corner. Morecambe went close to an equaliser through Joe Nuttall's shot from inside the box and Gwion Edwards' header. Jay Turner-Cooke's penalty for Halifax in the closing stages was saved by Morecambe goalkeeper Jamal Blackman. Although Harris turned home the rebound, he was adjudged to have been offside. The win marks four victories from their last five league matches for FC Halifax Town. The Shaymen's recent form has been impressive, with Harris' goal-scoring prowess being a key factor. Morecambe, on the other hand, will look to regroup and improve their performance. The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating scoring opportunities. FC Halifax Town's manager will be pleased with the result, which strengthens their play-off bid. The team's fans will be hoping for continued success in the coming matches.
