After a quiet opening it was the visitors who opened the scoring on 21 minutes.
A corner on the left was not cleared by the Row defence and Alfie Stanley took full advantage to score from close range. (0-1)
Five minutes later Mason Obeng made a fine individual run for the Row and his parting shot was saved by Lewis Noice in the Stags goal.

Hartley had a let off on the stroke of half time when a cross from Jordan Helliwell was deflected onto the crossbar by a Hartley defender and cleared.
Hartley had the edge in the early part of the second period and pulled level on the hour mark. A long ball down the left found Substitute Isiah Blankendal.
The young Row striker showed good pace and skill to create an opening for himself and he shot low past Noice from a tight angle. (1-1)
Both sides strove to get the winner and the game swung from end to end.
On 73 minutes Jayden Smith for the Row set up Elijas Bagdonavicius who fired his shot just over.
However it was Totton who snatched the winner in the closing stages.
A left wing cross from Matthew Burrows found its way to Stanley who converted from close range. (1-2)
