The match kicked off with the away team, Woking FC scoring in the first half at the 12th minute and again at the 33rd minute, taking an early advantageous position of 2-0. However, these goals did not dampen the spirits of the home team. Weston Super Mare AFC, despite the initial setback, made a dynamic turnaround in the second half, exploitatively outperforming Woking FC and scoring three successive goals.

The shift in momentum after the away team’s yellow card in the first half can’t be overlooked suggesting that a combination of advantageous playing and subtle psychological factors may have played a role in the home team’s recovery.

Overall, Weston Super Mare AFC's perseverance and tactical adaptability may have been the difference between these two teams, resulting in an exhilarating 3-2 victory, despite the initial disadvantage. Woking FC's inability to maintain the intensity shown in the first half may have cost them the match.
