Boreham Wood secured their eighth consecutive National League victory, coming from behind to defeat Woking 2-1. The leaders maintained their impressive run after Regan Booty scored late in the match, sealing the win at Woking.
Match Highlights and Key Moments
Woking initially took a surprise lead in the 23rd minute when Josh Kelly connected with Harrison Sohna’s delivery to score. However, Boreham Wood responded just after the half-hour mark, with Tylor Golden equalising through a fine volley, following a headed flick-on from Ben Whitfield.
The visitors had an opportunity to take the lead early in the second half, but Vicente Reyes saved a penalty from Zak Brunt, denying Boreham Wood a second goal. The winning goal came in the 78th minute when Regan Booty drove a left-footed curling shot into the top corner, as reported by BBC Sport.
Woking’s difficulties compounded four minutes later when Steven Turner was sent off for fouling Charlie O’Connell, completing their disappointment.

Woking’s Challenge
