The match between Oxford City FC and Brackley Town FC was determined by the latter's clinical finishing and dominance in set-pieces, resulting in a 2-0 victory for the away side. Brackley Town FC opened the scoring in the first half, capitalizing on a defensive lapse by Oxford City. This initial lead set the tone for Brackley, who managed to maintain control and effectively doubled their advantage in the second half, underscoring their superior attacking efficiency.

Oxford City FC struggled to penetrate Brackley's defense, highlighted by their lack of goals despite managing four corner kicks. Their inability to convert set-pieces into scoring opportunities was a clear contrast to Brackley, who exploited their 10 corner kicks to maintain pressure on Oxford City’s defense. The home team's offense was further stifled by Brackley’s disciplined defensive line, allowing only two offside calls, which indicates strategic defensive positioning to catch Oxford City's forwards off-guard.

Discipline played a pivotal role, with both teams accruing multiple yellow cards, yet avoiding red cards. Despite receiving one more yellow card than Oxford City, Brackley Town FC maintained composure during critical moments, particularly in defense, aiding in securing their clean sheet. Oxford’s attempt to disrupt Brackley's momentum through physical challenges was evident but ultimately ineffective, as Brackley’s ability to balance aggressive play with tactical awareness ensured their control persisted throughout the match.
