The encounter between Boston United FC and FC Halifax Town was decided by an early goal from Halifax's front man, giving the visitors a 0-1 victory. The quick strike in the seventh minute put immediate pressure on Boston United, compelling them to shift their strategy early in the match. Although both teams registered an equal number of corner kicks at six each, suggesting potential attacking attempts, the scoring remained unchanged, illustrating a lack of clinical finishing by the home side.

A significant distinguishing factor was the disciplined yet aggressive approach by Halifax Town, committing 16 fouls compared to Boston’s 9. This illustrated their determination to disrupt Boston’s play, a tactic reinforced by their receiving three yellow cards. While this aggressive play did not lead to a numerical disadvantage, it did assert a psychological edge over Boston, who themselves picked up two yellow cards and struggled to counter Halifax's physicality effectively.

Despite having a similar number of set-piece opportunities through corner kicks, Boston United failed to capitalize on these moments, which was crucial given their goal deficit. Both teams were caught offside only once, indicating structured defensive lines. However, Halifax’s early lead allowed them to manage the game's pace effectively and concentrate on compressing space and disrupting Boston’s play rhythm rather than expanding their lead. The solitary goal and Halifax's defensive organization were decisive, proving their ability to maintain narrow leads against competitive pressure.
