Oxford United 2:0 Ipswich Town — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Stanley Mills scored once as Oxford United beat Ipswich Town 2-0 in a Club Friendly, a result that offers no immediate next fixture to build upon. Jack Currie had opened the scoring eleven minutes earlier, and the win capped a solid pre-season outing for the home side.

The turning point came just past the hour when Jack Currie finished from Tyler Goodrham’s assist to break the deadlock, with Ipswich having earlier survived a nervous first half that saw Oxford United booked in the 42nd minute. Stanley Mills then doubled the lead in the 72nd minute, unassisted, to put the contest beyond doubt and seal a comfortable victory.

Possession was dead level at 50% each, but Oxford United’s seven corners to Ipswich’s four showed where the greater attacking intent lay, and they controlled the flow on the numbers. Stanley Mills was the standout with a rating of 9.05 out of ten for his goal from midfield, the highest mark of the match. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Ipswich Town, but the result did not confirm that read, with Oxford United winning on the day.
