Stockport County and Peterborough United met in League One on Saturday, 26 September 2026, and the hosts walked away with a 1-0 victory. The result keeps Stockport in the middle of the pack while Peterborough remain rooted near the bottom.
It was a quiet affair until the second half. Kyle Wootton broke the deadlock in the 51st minute, and that proved enough. Carl Johnston went offside for Stockport's trouble before the goal, picking up a yellow card in the 46th minute.
By then the game had settled into its rhythm. Peterborough made changes — Harry Wood came on at 54, Owura Edwards at 62 — while Stockport shuffled their pack with Lewis Bate and Jack Diamond both introduced at 66. More substitutions followed: Harry Ashfield at 69, Bolu Shofowoke and B. Woods at 79, Ryan Glover at 82, Ben Osborn at 83. Yellow cards for Lucca Mendonça, Harley Mills and Jason Adigun came late.
Stockport held 54 percent possession and fired 12 shots inside the penalty area, but only five found the target. Peterborough edged the attack count at 95 to 83 and had more shots off target, yet they created just as many big chances as the hosts. Three of the visitors' attempts were blocked, compared with five for Stockport.
We had called this one — Stockport to win, at 69 per cent confidence — and the match played out as expected. The hosts move to 10 points from seven games, still ninth, while Peterborough sit 23rd with five points. A draw would have lifted them, but they found no answer.
