Grimsby came from behind to beat Torquay 2-1, with a late Tristan Abrahams penalty sealing the success.

Asa Hall scored in the 28th minute, smashing the ball into the roof of the net to give Torquay the lead.

Grimsby responded in the 39th minute when Harry Clifton fired the ball in from distance to level the scores.
