Then the game turned on it's head as first Danny Thomas seen a goal chalked off by the referee because is linesman was not stood in the correct position, even though not one Alsager player claimed to have the goal wiped out. The same player then hit the crossbar with an overhead kick and from the resulting long ball down field came Alsager second goal with the forward looking yards off-side he got to the ball first and is first time cross was headed into the goal to make it 2-1 to Alsager.

Ashton pressed for an equaliser and got caught on the break again to make the score 3-1 and the with the last kick off the game a blatent Hand Ball and a shot in to the top corner to make it 4-1.
