Ayleal Dill scored from the penalty spot but could not prevent Southwell City FC from falling to a narrow 2-1 league defeat against Pinxton FC.
The home side, who controlled the second half of the contest, were left to rue a controversial late refereeing decision after being denied what looked like a stonewall penalty in the final moments.
Pinxton had raced into a two-goal lead before Dill, a key figure for Southwell, halved the deficit by coolly converting a penalty.
Despite dictating the play after the break, Southwell City’s late push for an equalizer was ultimately thwarted by the match official, who waved play on after a challenge in the box, bringing an end to their hopes of salvaging a point.
Jack Wilshere is close to being appointed as the new manager of League One club Luton Town, with sources suggesting a full agreement is imminent.
The 33-year-old former England and Arsenal midfielder, who spent time as the interim manager at Norwich City last season and has worked as an Arsenal youth coach, has been locked in talks with the club about succeeding Matt Bloomfield.
Luton Town, whose striker Nahki Wells is also a Bermuda international, dismissed Bloomfield earlier this week following a run of poor results, prompting a swift search for a replacement at Kenilworth Road.
It is understood that the League One club is finalizing a deal to bring Wilshere in as their new manager, marking his first permanent senior managerial role.
The move comes at a crucial time for the Hatters as they look to stabilize their position in the third tier of English football.
