Woking's National League fixture against Gateshead was suspended for over an hour after a horror tackle by Dion Kelly-Evans on Gateshead captain Greg Olley. The incident occurred in the 13th minute, resulting in a straight red card for Kelly-Evans. Olley, 28, received immediate treatment on the pitch before being taken away in an ambulance. The match resumed at 4:15pm, with Gateshead eventually winning the game. Woking Football Club wished Olley a speedy recovery on their social media account. Gateshead boss Rob Elliot provided an update on Olley's condition, stating that he was in the right place and receiving the necessary care. The win was a significant one for Gateshead, who are looking to build on their strong start to the season. Olley's absence will be a major blow for the team, having scored a hat-trick in their previous match. The visitors took the lead just before half-time, with centre-back Kenton Richardson scoring from 25 yards. Gateshead sealed the win in the 82nd minute through striker Mark Beck. The result marks two wins from two for Gateshead, who finished in the play-offs last season. Woking will look to bounce back from this loss in their next match.
