Match report

Charlton Athletic (women) hosted Manchester City (women) in the Women's Super League on Saturday. It was a straightforward affair where the visitors took the three points with a 1:0 scoreline. The game ended with City maintaining their perfect start to the campaign.

The decisive moment arrived in the 36th minute when Alex Greenwood found the net. It was not a moment of brilliance from the defence, but a lapse in concentration that City punished. The goal stood, and that was enough to decide the contest.

And here's the thing, the statistics showed the extent of the dominance. City held 75% of the possession while Charlton managed just 25%. The visitors had 6 shots on target compared to Charlton's 1, yet the scoreline remained narrow. Charlton defended deep and made it hard for City to break them down further.

We had backed the visitors from the start. The confidence was 81% for an away win, and the result matched that expectation. It was not a surprise, but seeing the control City exerted confirmed the assessment. They got over the line without unnecessary drama.

The table reflects the gulf between the sides. City sit top of the table with 9 points from 3 games. Charlton are 14th with none. They have lost three in a row now, and the gap in points is growing.

By then, the result was never really in doubt. Charlton cannot afford another slip if they want to climb away from the bottom. City remain unbeaten, and they are the team to beat this season.
