The Ammies showed great determination to come from behind and secure three points against stubborn opposition. The match process saw Accrington Stanley take a surprise lead against the run of play in the first half, frustrating the home crowd. Salford responded positively, equalizing before the break and then netting a second-half winner to complete the turnaround. The key incident was a controversial penalty decision that led to Salford's equalizer, which Accrington players and staff felt was soft.

The Accrington manager was critical of the officiating, while his Salford counterpart focused on his team's positive reaction to going a goal down.
