• 64′ – Exeter 2–0: a well‑struck shot after a short corner routine.
• 85′ – Weston’s only real chance, a snapshot that went wide.

Standout Performers

Exeter’s wing‑backs were influential, providing width and delivering dangerous crosses. Their midfield trio also controlled the game’s rhythm. Weston’s centre‑backs put in a solid shift, making numerous clearances under pressure.

For Exeter, this friendly offered ideal minutes for squad players to build sharpness. Weston will take encouragement from their organisation but will need to be more clinical in attack ahead of their own season start.
