Torquay United 0:1 Plymouth Argyle — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Aribim Pepple’s first-half strike gave Plymouth Argyle a 1-0 win over Torquay United in their Club Friendly Games encounter, with Ronan Curtis pulling the strings from midfield. The result sets Argyle up for a meeting with Truro City on July 25th, though it was hardly a dominant display from the away side.

The only goal arrived in the 28th minute when Ronan Curtis slipped a pass through to Aribim Pepple, who finished calmly to give Plymouth the lead. Torquay pushed for an equaliser but could not find a way through, and no cards or VAR interventions disturbed the flow of a contest that never truly caught fire.

Despite the narrow win, the statistics tell a tale of parity: both sides had exactly 50% possession, while Torquay actually forced eight corners to Plymouth’s two, suggesting the home side had the better of territory without capitalising. Ronan Curtis was the standout performer with a rating of 8.88 out of ten as a midfielder, orchestrating the decisive moment. CheckLive’s model rated Plymouth marginally ahead, and the result confirmed that forecast, though the performance lacked conviction ahead of their next friendly against Truro City.
