Fleetwood Town have earned a hard-fought goalless half-time draw away to Yeovil Town in League One this afternoon.

Yeovil came into the clash with just one home win all season, but Gary Johnson's side made inroads toward improving that dismal record early on.

The hosts came within the width of the post from moving ahead, with AJ Leitch-Smith heading against the woodwork after eight minutes.

Jordi Hiwula was rewarded with a starting berth after firing the Glovers into the second round of the FA Cup last week, and he nearly vindicated Johnson's decision.

The Manchester City loanee forced Chris Maxwell into a smart finger-tip save on 17 minutes as Yeovil continued to threaten an opening goal.

It was Hiwula again on the half-hour mark, but he perhaps should have scored this time after losing the battle of wits with Maxwell in a one-on-one.

Having single-handedly kept Fleetwood in the game, Maxwell continued his heroics between the sticks to deny Leitch-Smith and earn the visitors a half-time draw.
