Maziar Kouhyar scored the only goal five minutes into the second half to propel Harriers from eighth to fourth spot, leaving them five points adrift of Scunthorpe with a game in hand. 

Boss Phil Brown and his Scunthorpe counterpart Andy Butler were sent off for a touchline altercation deep into second half stoppage time, but Kidderminster held out for a fifth win in six games (drawing once). 

"It's a fantastic result certainly against the team that is top of the league," assistant manager Neil McDonald said.
