Exeter City Football Match

Exeter City‘s recent match saw centre-back Crama displaying a strong performance at the heart of the team’s back three. Crama completed an impressive 66 of his 71 passes, achieving a 93 percent success rate. Additionally, he made four clearances and won three duels. Crama, who spent the previous season on loan at Bristol Rovers, has been a constant presence for Exeter this term. Gary Caldwell‘s side currently sits 13th in the standings, having gathered 10 points from their initial seven games.

Meanwhile, player Olakigbe, who gained experience at Peterborough United during the 2023/24 campaign, has appeared in two matches for the 16th-placed Latics.

In the Bundesliga, midfielder Frank Onyeka started for Augsburg as they faced a heavy 4-0 defeat against RB Leipzig. Benjamin Šeško struck twice within the first 15 minutes, with Xavi Simons and Loïs Openda adding to the scoreline after the break. Onyeka has participated in three games for Augsburg since joining the club on a season-long loan from Brentford on Deadline Day.

In the Sky Bet Championship, Bristol City mounted a comeback to deny Swansea City a victory. Ben Cabango initially put Swansea ahead, but the lead was later equalized by Jason Knight‘s towering header 14 minutes from the end. Midfielder Myles Peart-Harris was substituted into the match in the 73rd minute at the rain-soaked Liberty Stadium.

In the Scottish Premiership, St Mirren endured a narrow defeat by Motherwell. Lennon Miller‘s two first-half goals secured a 2-1 win for Motherwell, despite Killian Phillips giving the visitors an early lead. Goalkeeper Balcombe made two saves, including a remarkable stop in second-half stoppage time to deny Apostolos.

Lastly, in the National League, Ben Winterbottom’s team, Fylde, faced a 2-0 loss against league leaders Barnet on Saturday. The breakthrough for Barnet came in the 57th minute when Zak Brunt’s cross found Nicke Kabamba, who managed to surpass the Brentford loanee. Barnet sealed their victory in stoppage time, with Ben Coker’s delivery from the left finding Callum Stead to double the lead.
