Yate Town dominated proceedings territorially, racking up 17 shots to Chippenham's 3 and forcing 5 efforts on target, but couldn't find the finish needed to break the deadlock. Chippenham, despite being second-best for large spells, matched their hosts in dangerous attacks and rode their luck combined with resolute defending, making 4 saves to Yate's 2. The visitors offered little going forward themselves, managing just 2 shots on target all game, but their organisation and willingness to sit in and absorb pressure proved enough to escape with a replay-forcing draw. With no cards and no clear talking points from the commentary, this was a game defined by attrition rather than moments of quality, setting up a second meeting between the two sides.
