Tesho Akindele scored the eventual game-winner for the Lions in the 21st minute, his ninth goal of the 2019 season, to take sole possession of the team lead and set a single-season personal best.
The clean sheet served as City’s seventh of the 2019 season, tying a Club record set in both 2015 and 2017. Goalkeeper Brian Rowe has been responsible for each of the Lions’ seven shutouts this season, matching former City goalkeeper Joe Bendik’s 2017 total for the most in a single-season.
