Arbroath 0:2 Montrose — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Ewan Loudon scored twice as Montrose beat Arbroath 0-2 in the League Cup, with midfielder Jamie Barjonas the standout performer, setting up a meeting with The Spartans FC next. The visitors took control early and never looked back.

The turning point came in the first half when Ewan Loudon opened the scoring in the 19th minute from a Blair Lyons assist, then doubled the lead ten minutes later after Jamie Barjonas provided the pass. Montrose then saw their grip tighten further when Arbroath's Scott Stewart was sent off for a second yellow card in the 79th minute.

On the numbers, possession was dead even at 50% apiece, but the pressure never favoured Arbroath—Montrose were the better side in both halves. Jamie Barjonas earned an 8.8 rating as the game's top performer, directing play from midfield without finding the net himself. CheckLive's model rated Arbroath marginally ahead before kick-off, but the result proved that prediction wrong as Montrose controlled the flow throughout. Montrose now face The Spartans FC on July 25th.
