Altrincham won 1-0 at Solihull Moors on Saturday, a result that moves them further clear of their hosts in the table and was largely deserved across the ninety minutes.
Solihull started with purpose and Joe Sbarra put them ahead in the tenth minute, the midfielder converting to give the home side an early foothold. For much of the first half, Solihull looked the more organised side, limiting Altrincham to peripheral possession without creating the openings to extend their advantage.
The game shifted after the interval. Emmanuel Sonupe was introduced and immediately altered the dynamic in the fifty-fourth minute, with Altrincham growing in conviction as Solihull retreated. Tylor Golden was replaced two minutes later, and Conor Wilkinson followed shortly after, both changes reflecting the strain the home side were under. By the hour mark, Altrincham had levelled, the pressure finally translating into an equaliser.
Callum McFarlane and Charlie Kirk both departed around the seventieth minute as Solihull attempted to steady themselves, but they could not hold. At seventy-seven minutes, Matty Kosylo and Joe Sbarra were both withdrawn, and with the hosts reorganising, Altrincham pressed for the winner that arrived in the final moments.
Sam Barnes, Tom Crawford and Isaac Moore all saw late action, and it was in that closing spell that Altrincham secured the goal that settled the contest. Solihull offered little by way of a late response, and the visitors left with three points they had worked hard to earn.
