However, Square United responded quickly, capitalising on a defensive mistake to equalise in the 38th minute with a left-footed strike.

As the teams headed into half-time at 1-1, the match was finely poised, with both sides eager to assert their dominance in the second half.

The second half began with Square United taking the lead just two minutes after the restart, again benefiting from a defensive error, this time scoring with a right-footed shot from outside the box. Enfield Celtic, now trailing 2-1, needed to regroup and find a way back into the game.

In the 64th minute, Enfield Celtic made a tactical substitution, bringing on Nicky Foster for Sean McRedmond, aiming to inject fresh energy into their attacking play. This change proved pivotal as Enfield Celtic began to assert their control over the match.
