Report: Maidenhead United 0-1 Altrincham

The first chance of the game fell to the Magpies just after the 15-minute mark, as the ball found Casey Pettit on the edge of the box, but his low effort was blocked off the line by a defender. 

 

The visitors almost opened the scoring shortly after, as Amalazor drove down the right wing before cutting onto his left foot, and dragging a shot wide of Craig Ross’ goal. 

 

The Robins had another great chance to make it 1-0 before halftime, as Craig Ross had to react quickly to prevent a Lewis Banks header from beating him at close range.
