Altrincham and Notts County drew 2-2 after extra time in their FA Cup first-round tie. National League side Altrincham took the lead during the match and Lewis Banks scored from close range to put Altrincham 2-1 up against League One Notts County. The fixture was played amid persistent fog, with multiple social posts reporting visibility issues that made it hard to see players and the ball. The match finished level after extra time, leaving the tie unresolved at 2-2.

A football pitch. It’s mostly fog, frankly, but a few players (and indeed the ball) are visible.
