Yeovil 1 Charlton 1

A rain-lashed Huish Park was the setting for a determined Charlton performance as they earned a point against Yeovil Town.
It was a tale of the Sodje brothers, with Sam taking the role of villain by getting sent off in the first half, only for Akpo to become hero by firing home an equaliser after the break.
The Addicks, who had not won in their last seven away games, played into the wind in the first half.
It was a swirling long ball which caught Sodje out and the defender's attempts to recover saw him bring down Yeovil striker Ryan Mason on the edge of the area, resulting in a red card for the Charlton player.
Down to 10 men, the Addicks conceded with just a minute of the half remaining, when Mason's strike partner John Obika slid the ball past Charlton keeper Carl Ikeme.
Yeovil had the edge in the first period, but the second half was a completely different story.
Seeking to take advantage of having the wind at his players' backs, manager Phil Parkinson sent on Akpo Sodje for Therry Racon to add more of an attacking threat.
Soon after the restart Akpo had a goal ruled out for offside, but it would not be long before he did get the equaliser.
A Miguel Llera pinpoint pass found the striker, who fired an unstoppable shot past Yeovil keeper Alex McCarthy from outside the penalty area.
It was one-way traffic throughout the rest of the half, with McCarthy making a number of super saves to keep the scores level.
Despite Charlton's dominance, they could not find a way through. However, the side can be content with claiming a point in terrible conditions.
