Chorley FC faced off against Alfreton Town FC in a tightly contested match that saw Alfreton secure a 1-0 victory thanks to an early goal. The quick strike in the first minute and twenty-two seconds set the tone for the game, allowing Alfreton to adopt a more defensive approach and focus on maintaining their lead. Despite having more corner kicks (6 to Alfreton's 4), Chorley struggled to find the cutting edge in front of goal, failing to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities.

Chorley's attacking efforts were hampered by their inability to convert possession into shots on target. Defensive discipline from Alfreton was evident, as they held their line effectively, resulting in a higher number of fouls committed compared to their opponents (14 to Chorley's 12). Both teams received an equal distribution of yellow cards early in each half, indicating a match marked by physicality, though tempers were kept in check without any red cards being issued.

Alfreton's marginally better defensive organization, highlighted by their offside trap's effectiveness, resulted in Chorley being caught offside only once. In contrast, Alfreton's defense allowed them to venture forward with calculated risks, despite being caught offside twice themselves. Chorley's inability to break down Alfreton's defense, despite exerting offensive pressure through corners and possession, ultimately proved decisive in this low-scoring encounter.
