Weston Super Mare 0:2 Exeter City — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Sonny Cox struck in the 29th minute as Exeter City beat Weston Super Mare 2-0 in a Club Friendly, with a second goal arriving late to seal a routine win, though the scoreline flattered the visitors slightly given the even nature of the contest.

The match turned decisively when Cox opened the scoring just before the half-hour mark, Exeter's first meaningful attack catching the home defence cold, and the visitors controlled the remainder of the first period without adding to their lead; the result was put beyond doubt in the 83rd minute when an unassisted finish made it two, and Weston Super Mare could not find a way back despite pushing forward late.

Possession was split evenly at 50% each, but Exeter dominated the corner count 7-1, reflecting their greater attacking intent and territorial advantage in wide areas, and they deserved the win on the balance of play. Pedro Borges was the standout performer for Weston Super Mare with a rating of 6.92, the highest in the game, though he could not influence the scoreline from his position.
