Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Dylan Easton's first-half strike proved the difference as Raith Rovers edged past Peterhead 1-0 in the League Cup. The midfielder's 38th-minute goal was enough to settle a tight contest that saw the home side control the first half but fail to add to their lead.

The match's decisive moment arrived just before the interval when John Robertson laid the ball off for Easton to finish from close range. Peterhead struggled to create clear chances but forced six corners to Raith Rovers' one, while the second half saw both sides lose their discipline slightly as Dylan Forrest, Lewis Vaughan and Robertson all collected yellow cards.

Raith Rovers controlled 59% of the possession but Peterhead's six corners to one suggested a more even contest than the scoreline implies. Easton, the standout player and goalscorer, earned a 9.34 rating from his midfield position. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Raith Rovers and the result confirmed that prediction.
