Solihull Moors and Carlisle United served up a thrilling six-goal encounter that swung dramatically throughout the 90 minutes. Carlisle looked to be in control after Georgie Kelly's early opener and his subsequent brace put them 3-2 ahead with 19 minutes remaining, but Solihull showed tremendous resilience to salvage a point. Darius Lipsiuc was the standout performer for the hosts, netting twice in the first half to turn the match on its head before Kelly's second-half double looked to have sealed victory for the visitors. Scott High's dramatic equalizer in the dying moments epitomized Solihull's fighting spirit and maintained their strong position in what appears to be a competitive title race, while Carlisle will rue not holding onto their advantage despite Kelly's hat-trick heroics.
