The match got off to an active start at The Scholars Ground, with Chasetown starting strongly from the opening minute.

In the 10th minute, Chasetown found themselves having to defend from a few set pieces while also creating a few shots on goal whenever they were able to break.

Shortly after, in the 12th minute, the game saw its first card when Witton Albion’s no. 6, James Lawrie, received a yellow card for a foul on Chasetown’s Ash Fallon.

Witton Albion broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute when their no. 9, Freddy Garbutt, opened the scoring to give the visitors a 1–0 lead.

Chasetown looked to respond quickly, with Oli Finney hitting a lovely strike on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball was safely caught by the Witton Albion goalkeeper.

Chasetown continued to push forward while relying on solid defensive work. In the 32nd minute, Curtis Pond produced an excellent save to keep Chasetown within only one goal of squaring the game up.

Pond was called into action again in the 35th minute, making another excellent save to push the ball out for a Witton Albion corner, which the Chasetown defence subsequently cleared.

Just before half-time, in the 37th minute, Nathan Cameron made an excellent clearing header in the Chasetown box from a Witton attack, sending the ball out for a corner that was successfully dealt with by the defence.

Despite Chasetown's efforts, the teams went into half-time with Chasetown trailing 0–1.

Following the interval, action resumed at The Scholars Ground. Just prior to a substitution in the 52nd minute, Chasetown won a free kick near the Witton Albion box, though the resulting set piece unfortunately went out for a goal kick. Chasetown then made a change early in the second half, with Nathan Cameron (no. 6) coming off to be replaced by Oli Hayward (no. 16) in the 53rd minute.

As the half progressed, Curtis Pond continued to keep his side in the match. In the 58th minute, a Witton Albion free kick was heading on target, but Pond pulled off a brilliant fingertip save to push the ball over the crossbar for a corner, which Witton subsequently headed over the bar.

Chasetown's persistence finally paid off in the 69th minute when Dylan Thomas scored the equaliser to level the game at 1–1. Momentum swung firmly in the hosts' favour shortly after. In the 74th minute, Kevin Monteiro scored to put Chasetown in front at 2–1.

Chasetown made a double substitution in the 78th minute, bringing on Jack Langston (no. 14) and Drew Turner (no. 12) to replace Oli Finney (no. 10) and Kyle Moseley (no. 9).

Sealing the victory in the closing stages, Matt Hearsey produced a moment of brilliance in the 87th minute, chipping the goalkeeper from outside the Witton Albion box to extend Chasetown's lead to 3–1.

Four minutes of added stoppage time were signalled at the end of the 90 minutes, but Witton Albion could not find a way back.
