Woking goalkeeper Will Jaaskelainen’s stoppage-time own goal handed Halifax a 1-0 win at Kingfield Stadium in their final game of the season.

Jaaskelainen mis-kicked his clearance following a mix-up at the back to swipe the ball into his own net in the first minute of added time as Woking slipped to their first defeat in seven league matches.

The Cardinals finished the season with just two defeats in 15 matches to secure a top-10 finish, while Halifax ended the season in eighth place, nine points off the play-offs.

Jake Forster-Caskey and Harry Beautyman both went close for Woking, while substitute Jake Hyde headed narrowly wide late on before Jaaskelainen inadvertently handed the visitors victory.
