Malachi Boateng goal hands Plymouth Argyle victory over Blackpool

Malachi Boateng was the hero at Home Park as Plymouth Argyle sealed a narrow 1-0 win over Blackpool in League One on Saturday afternoon.

The English-Ghanaian midfielder, making his presence felt in the heart of Argyle’s midfield, scored the only goal of the game early in the second half. In the 48th minute, Ayman Benarous slipped a clever pass into his path, and Boateng calmly guided a right-footed shot into the bottom corner. The goal sparked loud celebrations from home fans inside the stadium, who rose to applaud his tireless display.

Boateng lasted the full 90 minutes, dictating play and showing his passing ability. His energy and composure lifted his side, who dominated with 59% possession and 14 shots compared to Blackpool’s nine. Argyle created the clearer chances and deserved their win, despite the visitors pushing late on.

This result tilts the head-to-head balance closer, with Plymouth now boasting three wins against Blackpool’s three in their recent meetings.

Argyle will now shift focus to their midweek EFL Cup clash against Swansea City, heading into it full of confidence.
