1. FC Union Berlin 2:4 Ipswich Town — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Jack Clarke scored once as Ipswich Town beat 1. FC Union Berlin 4-2 in a Club Friendly, a convincing win that sets up nothing further on the immediate calendar. The scoreline flattered the visitors only slightly, coming after a scrappy opening in which Union Berlin took an early lead before Ipswich's quality told.

The turning point came early, with Zeno Van Den Bosch putting Union ahead in the ninth minute, only for Jack Clarke to level matters seven minutes later. Ipswich then seized control before the break, as Emersonn and Dara O'Shea struck in the 40th and 45th minutes respectively, and although Josip Juranović pulled one back for Union in the 53rd, a sixth Ipswich goal in the 78th minute sealed the result.

The stats show an even contest, with possession split at 50% each and no corners recorded for either side, so this was a match won on efficiency rather than dominance. Jack Clarke was the standout with a rating of 9.35 out of ten and his goal from midfield, and CheckLive's model clearly favoured Ipswich, a prediction confirmed by the result.
