Stevenage 1-0 Shrewsbury
Saturday 10 August 2024 20:09, UK
New Stevenage manager Alex Revell got off to a winning start thanks to a 1-0 victory at home to Shrewsbury.
Elliott List fired home the only goal after 58 minutes, producing a shimmy on the left side of the box before rifling the ball across Toby Savin in the Shrewsbury goal.
They could have made it two but Dan Kemp's penalty, after he had been fouled, was put wide.

Stevenage did grow into it, though, and Kemp, Tyreece Simpson and List were all denied by Savin.
At the other end, a shot by Tom Bloxham got past Murphy Cooper in the home goal but was cleared as it neared the net by Dan Sweeney.
The second half did see both teams step up the intensity but it was Stevenage who were doing most of the attacking.
List's goal was deserved and despite the penalty miss, they closed out the victory with relative ease.
