Port Vale looked to freshen their attack immediately after the interval, introducing Martin Sherif for Dajaune Brown at half-time. Further changes followed on the hour mark and beyond, as the hosts sought extra energy in wide and midfield areas.

In the closing stages, Port Vale turned again to their bench, bringing on Ben Waine for Ryan Croasdale and George Hall for Jordan Shipley in the 78th minute.

A double switch followed in the 74th minute, with Harrison Bettoni coming on for Matthew Smith and Joseph Hungbo replacing Raphael Borges Rodrigues. Christian Saydee was introduced late on, taking the place of Callum Wright in the 86th minute.

The only booking recorded arrived right at the end of normal time, as Wigan defender James Carragher was shown a yellow card in the 90th minute.
