Merthyr Town 4:2 Cambrian & Clydach Vale — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Merthyr Town overturned a strong pre-match prediction to beat Cambrian & Clydach Vale 4-2 in a Club Friendly, with Alex Ryan John the standout performer, and they now prepare to host Yeovil Town on 14 July. Cambrian struck first through a seventh-minute goal, but Sam Pearson levelled for the home side in the 22nd minute to send the teams in level at the break.

Cambrian regained the lead in the 56th minute, only for Merthyr to flip the contest decisively in a three-minute burst: Will Spiers equalised in the 70th minute and Kane Simpson put them ahead three minutes later. No cards or VAR interventions interrupted the flow of an open, high-tempo friendly.

Merthyr controlled the game on the numbers, holding 56% possession and earning five corners to Cambrian's two, though the run of play was closer than the scoreline suggests. Alex Ryan John was the match's highest-rated player with a 7.32, anchoring the midfield without a goal but with clear influence. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Cambrian & Clydach Vale, but the result did not confirm that prediction, as Merthyr's efficiency told a different story.
