Harrogate Town 1, Huddersfield Town 4

He took just one touch as Rachubka advanced quickly from his line and had enough angle to score with ease and rob Town of a first clean sheet of pre-season.

That mistake cost the players dearly after the final whistle as they were forced into a series of tough shuttle runs up the length of the pitch as a punishment, although they had Rachubka to thank for a superb first-half save for not conceding earlier.

It was a tremendous effort from striker Gareth Grant, whose 17th-minute bicycle kick seemed destined for the top corner, but Rachubka somehow managed to fingertip the ball over the top.
