Report: Gillingham denied late winner at the death

Gillingham 1 Tranmere Rovers 1 match report: Stoppage-time Tim Dieng goal disallowed after Conor Masterson cancels out Regan Hendry’s effort in League 2 fixture at Priestfield

On Saturday, Gillingham was denied a thrilling League 2 victory at home against Tranmere due to a contentious officiating call.

Tim Dieng, a midfielder for the opposition, attempted to cross his lines at the last second and thought he had won it, only to have his effort disqualified for a handball.

After a true game of two halves, the play-off-chasing Gills did manage to salvage a point when Conor Masterson cancelled out Regan Hendry’s early opener. The final score was 1-1. As a result, Gillingham is currently fifth in the league and has not lost at home since Boxing Day.

A crowd of 6,077 witnessed the game get underway quickly at Priestfield.
