The only goal of the match came from Cheltenham's striker Dan N'Lundulu in the 38th minute, setting the tone for a competitive game. The goal was a well-taken strike and ultimately proved decisive as Shrewsbury struggled to find an equalizer.

The second half saw intensified action with Shrewsbury's Jordan Shipley receiving a yellow card at the 58-minute mark. Two minutes later, goalscorer N'Lundulu found himself in the referee's book as well, earning a yellow card for a rash challenge.

This was closely followed by two more changes in the 81st minute as A. May came on for Cheltenham and N'Lundulu was replaced after his significant contribution.

Shrewsbury made strategic changes in the 84th minute, bringing on C. Dunkley and R. Street in an attempt to salvage the game. However, despite their efforts, Cheltenham held strong.

The closing minutes saw three more yellow cards issued to Cheltenham players—Christian Norton and Lewis Freestone in the 87th and 88th minutes, respectively, and Elliot Bonds in the dying moments of stoppage time at the 96th minute.

Shrewsbury's final attempt to alter the outcome was the introduction of T. Bayliss in the first minute of added time, but it did not change the result. The match concluded with Cheltenham taking all three points from a challenging fixture marked by physical play and disciplined defense after the initial goal.
