Burton Albion 1:0 Derby County — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Tyrese Shade’s 11th-minute strike gave Burton Albion a 1-0 win over Derby County in this Club Friendly, with midfielder Kyran Lofthouse the standout performer despite the narrow margins. The result means nothing in competitive terms, but it was a disciplined defensive display from the home side against higher-league opposition.

The game’s decisive moment arrived early when Shade converted to put Burton ahead, and Derby’s response never truly threatened to produce an equaliser. The match turned scrappy as five yellow cards were dished out from the 59th minute onward, three of them to Derby, yet the visitors could not turn their territorial pressure into a clear chance.

The numbers paint an uncomfortable picture for the winners, as Derby claimed four corners to Burton’s one, although possession was dead level at 50% apiece. Burton were outplayed territorially but won on efficiency, and Lofthouse’s 7.33 rating made him the game’s standout performer from midfield. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Derby and was proved wrong as Burton defied expectations to take the spoils.
