That’s class from Alabi. Jordan Chapell carries the ball forward and rolls it into Alabi whose touch takes him away from the defence and he finishes cooly to level it up.

Not the greatest spectacle and Altrincham have been the better team on balance but it is the Blues who lead thanks to Kane Richards close range finish.

Wide of the mark

Another chance for the home side as Lawrie finds Reeves but he strokes the ball well wide

Great stop

Fantastic save from Worsnop as he tips Menagh’s curling shot over the crossbar

Durrell down

A nasty moment for Elliott Durrell as he chases down a pass and collides with the hoardings as he tries to reach it. He is down and receiving treatment as the game continues.

  • Share

Dragged wide

Jordan Chapell tries his luck from 30 yards but he doesn’t connect cleanly and the ball is well wide of the target.

  • Share

Good strike

David Lynch with a well-hit drive from 20 yards that Worsnop grabs hold of. Home side on top again.

  • Share

Chance for Reeves

Damian Reeves does what he does and ghosts in behind the defence looking to latch onto a long pass but he can’t quite reach it.

  • Share

Muted response

Altrincham will be disappointed to be behind having had the better of things up until the goal. Chester still haven’t really got going but don’t look threatened at the back.

  • Share

GOAL! Altrincham 0 Chester FC 1

Kane Richards opens the scoring from the resulting corner. Chapell whips the ball to the back post and the defence miss it allowing Richards to side-foot in from close range.
