A minute before half time Villa went two up when Hay scored from close range.

In the 58th minute the visitors pulled a goal back when Dean Baker scored with a firm header at the post from a deep cross from the left. In the 70th minute the same player equalised again with a header from a free kick from the left.

After this Villa had several chances to win the game, but visiting 'keeper Darren Guaser made several vital saves to keep the scores level.
