Gateshead looked to be heading for all three points after Harry Chapman's well-taken opener midway through the first half, but substitute Dubem Eze's late equalizer ensured the spoils were shared at the International Stadium. The hosts controlled the early proceedings and were rewarded when Chapman found the net on 29 minutes, capitalizing on some neat build-up play. Sutton United struggled to create clear-cut chances for much of the match, but manager's tactical changes in the second half proved decisive as Eze made an immediate impact just 11 minutes after being introduced. The draw keeps both sides in mid-table positions, with Gateshead extending their unbeaten run but missing a chance to climb higher, while Sutton will be pleased to salvage a point after a largely subdued performance.
