AI match recap

Excelsior return home needing to halt a poor run and repair a defence that has allowed opponents too much control in the penalty area. GO Ahead Eagles carry the stronger recent head-to-head record and have continued to score, though their away performances remain notably vulnerable. The key contest is whether Excelsior can turn early home pressure into sustained attacks without leaving transition space behind them. With neither defence supplying much reassurance, the match should stay alive deep into the second half.
