Exeter v Charlton Match Report
Exeter City continued their strong defensive record in League One with a 1-0 victory over Charlton Athletic, in a match where defences largely held the upper hand. With both teams among the top clean sheet earners this season, it was anticipated that chances might be limited, and the game lived up to that expectation. Despite Charlton edging the possession, Exeter's organised backline, led by Tristan Crama, was resolute, and a second-half goal proved to be enough for Gary Caldwell's side to secure three points.
The game’s only goal came in the 59th minute when Crama, who had been solid at the back, made his presence felt on the other end, scoring from a set-piece delivery by Ed Francis. Charlton pushed for an equaliser, but Exeter’s defensive discipline held firm, and the visitors were unable to breach their lines.
Key Moments
- 22' - Ryan Woods (Charlton) is booked as both teams start with a physical approach.
- 39' - Macauley Gillesphey (Charlton) also receives a yellow card as tensions rise.
- 59' 1-0 - Tristan Crama (Exeter) scores the decisive goal from a set-piece, assisted by Ed Francis.
