Oldham Athletic 0:1 Stockport County — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Stockport County edged Oldham Athletic 1-0 in a Club Friendly that finished with a late own goal and a red card, with midfielder Oliver Hammond standing out in a losing cause, and the win sets Stockport up for a friendly against Preston North End on the 1st of August.

The match burst into life just after the hour mark when an uncredited Stockport player found the net in the 61st minute, only for Oldham to equalise a minute later through Trialist A, assisted by Calum Kavanagh, but the goal was chalked off—the score remained 0-1—and the game turned decisively in the 75th minute when Oldham's Mike Fondop was shown a straight red card, leaving the home side to chase the game a man down.

Stockport controlled the ball with 59% possession and won seven corners to Oldham's five, dictating the tempo without ever dominating the scoreline, while Oliver Hammond earned a 6.98 rating from midfield in a side that ultimately could not break through. CheckLive's model rated Stockport County marginally ahead and the result confirmed that prediction, and they now face Preston North End next.
