Bristol Rovers came from behind to beat Yeovil Town thanks to second-half goals from Kofi Shaw and Luke Thomas.
Shaw put in a magnificent display, smashing in a wonderful strike from the edge of the box soon after the break before setting up Thomas to secure the victory for the Gas.
The Glovers had taken the lead in the first half after a corner resulted in an own goal from Brad Young after 20 minutes, and the home side carried a lot of danger, working the Rovers' defence for large portions of the fixture.
A tremendous 512 Gasheads made the journey to Huish Park to witness the game, which was dedicated to Marcus Stewart in support of his courageous battle with Motor Neurone Disease.
A cagey start to the game saw neither side take control of the ball at Huish Park. Bryant Bilongo lined up at left-back after his winning goal from left centre back last time out against Bath and found himself getting a lot of opportunities to drive down the wing with possession.
Shaw and Hutchinson both saw efforts saved by the Glovers goalkeeper in quick succession as the Gas began to grow into the game; however, Yeovil continued to threaten when possession turned.
A Yeovil corner was turned into Rovers' net by Young as he jumped for the ball 20 minutes into the contest, handing the home side the lead.
The Yeovil supporters thought their lead had been doubled quickly after one of their trialists drove towards the Pirates' goal but slotted his effort into the side netting, sparking premature celebrations.
Rovers responded well as Micah Anthony cut inside onto his right foot and fired an effort at the Yeovil goal, but the goalkeeper smartly saved it. Ollie Dewsbury got on the end of a loose header back to the keeper but nodded his effort just wide.
Darrell Clarke got the reaction he was looking for from his players as Joel Senior drove forward from right-back and found Shaw, who fired a left-footed drive into the Yeovil net to level the affair.
Rovers continued to generate chances as Thomas slipped in Bilongo, who drilled an effort just past the post as the Gas searched for a winner.
Rovers had all of the momentum and found their winner as Shaw drove down the flank and cut the ball back for Thomas to volley in from close range.
Yeovil struggled to respond, offering little threat to substitute keeper Jed Ward’s goal in the late stages of the game as the Gas secured their second win this week. The Pirates have won three of their four pre-season matches and face Sky Bet Championship team Coventry City at The Memorial Stadium on Wednesday night.
