A quick look at the scoreline would suggest total dominance by Ashton United, but various statistical nuances unravel a captivating storyline. One might have thought that Lancaster City had the advantage in set pieces, given that they had 7 corners compared to Ashton's 5. However, the home team's effectiveness and accuracy in front of the goal was the major determinant in this match outcome and completely overshadowed Lancaster City's higher corner count.

Ashton United’s first goal, which came in just under half an hour of the first half, set the pace for the rest of the game.
