NEFC ran out 4–2 winners over Boston City FC in USL League Two action on Tuesday, putting four past their visitors in a comfortable home result. Individual goal scorers and their minutes were not confirmed in the official match record.
NEFC controlled the scoreboard throughout, netting four times to ensure Boston City FC's two goals were never enough to mount a serious comeback. The two-goal margin at the final whistle reflected a decisive performance from the home side, who found the net twice as often as their opponents across the 90 minutes.
Boston City FC did manage to trouble NEFC on two occasions, but the away side's defensive frailties proved too costly. Conceding four goals on the road is difficult to recover from regardless of what happens at the other end, and Boston City FC learned that the hard way.
Neither side picked up a booking, with the referee keeping his cards in his pocket for the full match — a rarity in a game that produced six goals.
The result gives NEFC a valuable three points in the League Two standings and extends what has been a productive stretch for the home side, while Boston City FC will need to regroup quickly after a difficult night on the road.
