In a fiercely contested match, the opening minutes saw Danny Glover nearly break the deadlock, striking just wide from outside the box. Shortly after, Fenton had a golden opportunity when his header from a corner rattled the post. The rebound fell back to him, but he struggled to regain his footing and convert the chance.

The drama intensified when Chase was awarded a penalty after Butlin was brought down by Sephton. Danny O'Callaghan stepped up to take the spot-kick, but his attempt was brilliantly saved by Hollingshead, denying Chase a crucial lead. Alvechurch then had their moment but Pond made a fantastic save against their striker, keeping the game level.

As the second half unfolded, both teams showcased their resilience, with the match remaining tightly contested. Chasetown earned a dangerous free kick but failed to find the net, as Hollingshead stood firm. The match ended in a stalemate at 0-0, leading to a tense penalty shootout.

Ultimately, Alvechurch edged out Chasetown 5-4 in the shootout, despite Chasetown's hard-fought performance. Looking ahead, Chasetown will shift their focus to league action, with an away fixture against Newcastle Town on Tuesday night, followed by a home game against Stalybridge Celtic on Saturday.
