Stafford quickly responded, earning a corner that was floated to Fallon, but his effort sailed well over the bar. Not to be outdone, Cater stepped up for a free-kick just outside the box, only to see his strike skim just above the crossbar.

Haywood was instrumental for Stafford, making a crucial block that prevented further danger. Moments later, Yates charged into the box, firing a shot that was deflected, losing its sting and landing safely in Phillips' gloves.

As the second half unfolded, Lund delivered a cross to Unitt, whose attempt was thwarted by a well-timed block. The match took a turn when Burrell received a red card, leaving Stafford down to ten men. Yates took the resulting free-kick, but Phillips was quick to gather the ball for Stafford.

The Scholars found their rhythm, taking the lead with a Cater cross that Yates converted with a powerful header, despite the best efforts of the defender on the line.

Shortly after, Thompson threatened from a corner, but it was Chasetown who doubled their advantage. Another pinpoint delivery from Cater found O'Callaghan, who nodded home to extend the lead. Just before the final whistle, O'Callaghan nearly added to his tally, but his effort was cleared off the line.

With a solid away victory secured and a playoff spot in sight, Chasetown now sets their sights on the Walsall Cup Semi-Final against Darlaston Town.
