Both teams displayed an aggressive approach, with a total of 8 yellow cards being awarded, 5 for York City FC and 3 for Altrincham FC, which underscores the intense determination of the teams. This aggressive approach by York City FC, however, seemed to impede their performance to an extent as indicated by an increased number of fouls at 13 as compared to Altrincham's 15.

When it comes to goal-scoring, both teams maintained an even pace with 2 goals each. York City FC opened the scoreboard early in the first half at the 9-minute mark, setting the tempo for the game.

Altrincham again drew level in the second half proving their resilience by coming back from behind on two occasions.
