Morecambe goalkeeper Jamal Blackman played a crucial role in securing a 0-0 draw against Yeovil Town in their National League clash at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium. Blackman’s late penalty save denied Yeovil the chance to break their winless streak, which now stretches to eight games.
The first half was a subdued affair, with Morecambe enjoying slight dominance. Jack Nolan’s free-kick was well saved by Yeovil goalkeeper Jed Ward, and a subsequent rebound from Gwion Edwards flew over the bar.
Yeovil found more momentum after halftime and created a golden opportunity in the 80th minute when Tahvon Campbell was brought down in the penalty area. However, Blackman’s acrobatic save at full stretch kept the Glovers at bay.
