English League One: Hiram Boateng on target in Mansfield Town’s 1-1 draw with Stockport County

English-born Ghanaian midfielder Hiram Boateng scored for Mansfield Town in their 1-1 draw against Stockport County at One Call Stadium on Saturday.

Boateng, who played the full 90 minutes, broke the deadlock in the 25th minute with a powerful shot that breached Stockport’s defense and gave Mansfield the lead.

However, Stockport equalized before halftime when Kyle Wootton capitalized on a rebound after a superb save by Mansfield goalkeeper Christy Pym, who had denied Fraser Horsfall's header.

Despite having less possession and fewer chances, Mansfield managed to hold on for a draw. This result extended Mansfield's unbeaten record in their head-to-head encounters with Stockport County, maintaining a strong track record with seven wins and two draws from nine matches.

Boateng’s goal marked his first of the season, having featured in all four of Mansfield’s League One matches to date. Mansfield Town will next face Cambridge United in their upcoming league fixture on September 14.
