Montrose FC's early dominance was evident in their quick succession of goals in the first half. Scoring the first goal at just 16 minutes, they capitalized on their offensive momentum, shortly extending their lead to 2-0. Their ability to break through Peterhead FC's defensive line early in the match demonstrated Montrose's strategic execution and sharpness in attack. Peterhead's response came fairly quickly, pulling one back at 33 minutes, but they struggled to level the play beyond that point.

Defensively, Montrose displayed grit, yet their discipline faltered as seen in the four yellow cards accumulated exclusively in the second half. This rougher play possibly aimed to disrupt Peterhead FC's efforts to equalize, though it risked potentially reducing them to ten men. Interestingly, despite being under such pressure, Montrose managed without conceding further goals, indicating robust defensive resilience.

Both teams encountered similar opportunities from set pieces, with an equal number of corner kicks (six each), but Peterhead was unable to fully leverage these dead-ball situations to alter the scoreline. Montrose's ability to maintain a line without offsides, compared to Peterhead’s two, suggested greater cohesion and positional awareness in their front line. Ultimately, Montrose FC's early attacking efficiency and controlled, albeit aggressive, defensive tactics allowed them to secure the victory.
