Match Info

Southend United produced a strong away performance to defeat Southport FC 3-1 in the English FA Trophy on March 28, 2026. The visitors came from behind to secure their passage to the next round in an entertaining encounter at Haig Avenue. Southport took an early lead, sending the home fans into raptures, but Southend United equalized before the half-hour mark to change the momentum. The second half belonged entirely to the visitors, who scored two quick goals shortly after the restart to take a commanding 3-1 lead. Southport pushed for a route back into the tie but found the Southend defense in stubborn form, with the away goalkeeper making a crucial one-on-one save to preserve the two-goal cushion. The standout performance came from Southend's attacking midfielder, who was involved in all three goals, scoring one and assisting another. This result is a significant boost for Southend United's cup ambitions, while Southport exits the competition to focus on their league campaign. The Southend manager praised his team's character after going behind, and the Southport boss acknowledged his side lost control of the midfield battle in the decisive period.
