The first warning for the away team came in the 16th minute of the first half followed by two in the second half at the 61st minute and the 72nd minute. This possibly indicates a stepped up aggressive game play from Bradford Park Avenue AFC that didn't adequately pay off. The home team received their single yellow card late in the first half, in the 35th minute.

Despite the higher foul count, Bradford Park Avenue AFC was not able to convert this aggressive gameplay into goals, which along with fewer corner shots, was a significant factor in the match outcome. Spennymoor Town FC capitalizing on more of their corner kicks, and their successful punches-back after each of Bradford's goals, indicates superior team play and execution of strategic moves in critical situations.

In conclusion, the more disciplined, strategic and efficient play by Spennymoor Town FC led them to the victory in a match that could well have tipped in Bradford Park Avenue AFC's favor if they'd managed to convert their opportunistic and aggressive play into more goals.
