Yeovil got their National League campaign up and running with a 1-0 victory over Eastleigh.
The Glovers, relegated from League Two last season, started their season with a defeat to Barnet on Saturday.
But they got off the mark at the second attempt courtesy of Courtney Duffus' strike, with the forward losing his marker and firing into the net with just two minutes gone.
Goalkeeper Stuart Nelson kept Yeovil in front, saving from Michael Green twice in quick succession, while Matthew Worthington headed wide as Town looked to double their advantage in the second half.
