The National League clash between Wealdstone FC and Rochdale played out with Rochdale securing a 3-1 victory, demonstrating their dominance early in the game. Rochdale's first goal in the opening minutes set the tone, unsettling Wealdstone and allowing Rochdale to dictate the match's tempo. The timing of Rochdale’s goals, particularly the early and decisive strikes in each half, highlighted their effective attacking strategy and superior execution during critical phases.

Statistically, both teams maintained an aggressive approach, with Rochdale capitalizing on their opportunities more effectively. Rochdale's quick start forced Wealdstone on the back foot and their ability to convert from limited opportunities reflects a highly clinical approach. Wealdstone's failure to react quickly enough to Rochdale's pace showed in the scoreline, despite managing a comparable number of corner kicks, with 4 for Wealdstone versus 3 for Rochdale.

Discipline played a significant role in managing the match's flow, with Rochdale receiving three yellow cards compared to Wealdstone's one. Despite the higher number of fouls leading to cautions, Rochdale maintained composure to avoid any potential detriment like a red card, which could have shifted the momentum. Wealdstone's struggle to penetrate an organized Rochdale defense, despite their best efforts and some set-piece opportunities, illustrated the away team’s effective defensive organization and adaptability under pressure.
