Exeter City triumphed over Charlton Athletic in a League One match held in Devon. The Addicks have been struggling in their recent games, with only two wins in their last 11 matches.
The game saw Tristan Crama scoring the winning goal for Exeter City with a header in the 60th minute, coming from their 13th corner of the game. Despite Charlton’s efforts to defend against the set-pieces, they were unable to prevent the goal. Charlton had opportunities to equalize in the closing stages through Matty Godden and Alex Mitchell but failed to capitalize.
Charlton goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer started in place of the injured Will Mannion, and manager Nathan Jones made tactical changes by bringing in Luke Berry for captain Greg Docherty. While Charlton showed promise at the start of the second half, it was Exeter City who ultimately capitalized on their chances.
Star player Alex Mitchell performed well for Charlton, winning numerous headers throughout the game. A notable moment was Terry Taylor’s precise cross for Matty Godden’s headed chance early in the match, which was saved by Exeter City’s goalkeeper Joe Whitworth.
One of the key talking points from the match is Charlton’s inability to control games for extended periods, leading to a lack of wins this season. Manager Jones expressed disappointment in the team’s performance, highlighting the need to improve decision-making and defensive capabilities.
Overall, the match showcased Exeter City’s ability to convert set-piece opportunities into goals, while Charlton Athletic struggled to maintain control and secure a positive result. Charlton fans will be looking for improvements in upcoming games to avoid further setbacks in the season.
