The Northern Premier Division match between Ashton United and Macclesfield Town was a tight and exciting game, with Ashton United narrowly triumphing 3-2.

Ashton United's efficient performance in front of the goal was undoubtedly a significant factor in their victory. They put in only 4 shots on target, but three of these found the back of the net, compared to Macclesfield Town's wasteful performance with only 2 goals from their 3 shots on target.

Ashton United made the most out of their limited opportunities. They only had 6 attempts on goal in total (4 shots on target and 2 shots off target) compared to Macclesfield Town's 7 (3 shots on target and 4 shots off target). Yet, they netted 3 goals and managed to keep Macclesfield Town at bay with their sturdy defence and goalkeeper saves.

Speaking of goalkeeping, the Ashton United keeper was on top form during this game, pulling off 2 critical saves compared to just 1 from the Macclesfield Town keeper. This critical performance in denying the opponent more goals from their shots on target played a crucial role in Ashton United's victory.

In terms of set pieces, both teams seemed evenly matched. Macclesfield Town won one more corner but failed to convert these opportunities into goals, which ultimately proved fatal in the close-ran match.

Noteworthy is the disciplined performance of both teams, with no player being issued a yellow or red card throughout the match.

In terms of offensive lines, Ashton United looked very stable and more disciplined than Macclesfield Town, with just 1 offside to Macclesfield’s 2.
