Exeter City – Barnet

Exeter City were held to a 1‑1 draw at home by league‑leading Barnet, a result that leaves the Southerners still stuck in 19th place with just five points from six games. Barnet, who sit atop the table on 12 points after three wins and three draws, maintain their unbeaten run but fail to close the gap on the chase pack. The match marked the third encounter between the two this season, the previous two having also ended level, so the stalemate simply extended an even head‑to‑head record. With Exeter’s goal difference now sitting at –1 and Barnet’s at +5, the points tally reflects the widening gulf between the relegation battle and the promotion push.
