AI match recap

This replay follows a fiercely contested draw in which Scarborough’s sharp transitional spell was matched by Macclesfield’s late territorial pressure. The home side have a clear formula: get Wiles and Hall on the ball, then release Fadera and Allan into open grass. Macclesfield arrive with the stronger late-game precedent from the first tie and a serious set-piece threat through Dawson. The short turnaround raises the importance of selection freshness and who handles the closing stages best.
