Grimsby Town secured a vital 1-0 victory over Accrington Stanley at Blundell Park, with Tyrell Sellars-Fleming scoring his first goal for the Mariners. The win moves them to within a point of the League Two play-offs, maintaining their impressive form. The on-loan Hull forward struck in the 58th minute, firing in off the near post after cutting in from the left flank.

The Mariners dominated the opening passages of the game, creating early chances before finding the breakthrough. Their ninth consecutive game unbeaten in the league has propelled them into contention for promotion. Accrington goalkeeper Ollie Wright made an excellent save to deny Sellars-Fleming one-on-one earlier in the match, but couldn't stop his eventual strike.

Devon Matthews received a straight red card in the 86th minute for a heavy challenge on Clarke Oduor, effectively ending Accrington's late push for an equalizer. Grimsby held on for the three points, demonstrating their defensive resilience. With the season entering its crucial phase, this result keeps their promotion hopes alive as they chase a play-off spot.
