Balanta winner lifts Daggers
Dagenham & Redbridge 1-0 Torquay United
Angelo Balanta snatched a late winner as Dagenham & Redbridge further dented Torquay United’s automatic Vanarama National League promotion hopes in a keenly contested encounter at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.
Balanta fired home ten minutes from time to settle the contest, although the home side was indebted to their highly-rated goalkeeper, Elliott Justham for denying Connor Lemonheigh-Evans after the Gulls man found himself clear on goal.
The victory moved the East Londoners into fifteenth place.
They return to Vanarama National League action on Saturday, April 2 when they face Hartlepool United at Victoria Park(1pm)
