Woking's National League survival hopes took a hit as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Torquay United. The match, played at Plainmoor, saw Torquay's Connor Lemonheigh-Evans score a stunning goal in the 68th minute to give the Gulls a vital three points. Woking's Reece Grego-Cox had earlier canceled out Brett Williams' 14th-minute penalty, but Lemonheigh-Evans' strike proved to be the winner. The loss leaves Woking in a precarious position, with only six games remaining to avoid relegation. Gary Owers' Torquay United, on the other hand, have closed the gap to safety to just four points. The match was a nervy affair, with both teams creating chances, but it was Torquay who ultimately emerged victorious. Woking's Joey Jones committed a clear handball in the 14th minute, allowing Williams to step up and slam home the penalty. The Cards pushed hard for an equalizer, but it wasn't until the 24th minute that they had a clear chance, with Regan Charles-Cook charging down a Balatoni pass and Vincent Dorel making a fine save. Torquay had several chances to stretch their lead before halftime, but it wasn't until Lemonheigh-Evans' goal that they were able to breathe a sigh of relief. The win marks a crucial six-point Easter for Torquay, who had previously beaten Chester FC 2-0 on Good Friday. Woking, meanwhile, will look to regroup and try to arrest their slide down the table.
