Braintree Town 1:2 Aldershot Town — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Aldershot Town came from behind to beat Braintree Town 2-1 in a Club Friendly Game, with the result settling a clear favourite’s promise despite a scrappy first half. Joe Muscatt was the standout performer for the hosts, though his side ultimately paid for a slow start and a late collapse.

Braintree struck first through Anisius Lewis in the 22nd minute, but their lead lasted only three minutes into the second half when Basil Tuma levelled for Aldershot. The visitors then snatched all three goals’ worth of momentum with a decisive strike in the 89th minute, leaving the home side with nothing to show for their early industry. No cards or VAR interventions shaped the contest; it was simply a tale of two halves.

The numbers tell an unflattering story for Braintree, who managed just 40% possession and zero corners against Aldershot’s 60% and six. The away side controlled the run of play and deserved their win on efficiency, even if the hosts led for much of the first period. Joe Muscatt earned a 7.04 rating, the highest on the pitch, though he could not prevent the defeat. CheckLive’s model rated Aldershot the stronger side and the result confirmed it.
