PivotalHalifax Town and Sutton United served up an entertaining National League encounter that swung both ways before ending honours even. The visitors took an early lead through Lewis Simper's 12th-minute opener, but Halifax responded well with Cody Johnson's equaliser just past the half-hour mark. W. Harris looked to have given the Shaymen the advantage midway through the second half, only for Brandon Njoku to restore parity nine minutes later. Both managers made multiple changes in the final quarter as they sought a winner, but neither side could find the crucial breakthrough in what proved to be an evenly-contested affair that keeps both teams searching for consistency in mid-table.
