Ten-man Forest Green gave their League Two survival hopes a boost with a 1-0 home win over Tranmere.
Charlie McCann's stunning strike was enough for all three points despite Ryan Inniss being sent off late on.
The returning Jordan Moore-Taylor headed narrowly past his own post after a mix-up with emergency loan goalkeeper Vicente Reyes.
The impressive Rob Apter shifted a yard of space and struck a fierce left-footed effort towards Reyes' near post but the Norwich loanee tipped around the post.
Reyes had to be alert to deny Apter again after his effort was deflected towards his top corner but he parried away from danger.
