Buxton suffered their first defeat of the season away at Peterborough Sports, with the hosts securing a 1-0 victory after a first-half header from Ryan Fryatt.


The match began with an early opportunity for Buxton after Michael Gash was penalized for handball in the 3rd minute, gifting the visitors a free kick in a dangerous position. However, the resulting effort sailed over the bar, failing to trouble Peterborough's goalkeeper, Peter Crook.


Buxton continued to press in the early stages, with Tommy Elliott creating a chance in the 10th minute, beating his man and delivering a cross that found Josh Popoola in the box. Unfortunately for the visitors, Popoola's shot was blocked by a Peterborough defender, keeping the score level.


Peterborough began to grow into the game, and their persistence paid off in the 17th minute. A well-delivered corner found Fryatt, who rose above the Buxton defence to head the ball into the net, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead.


Dan Jarvis came close in the 48th minute, winning the ball off a goal kick and seeing his shot deflected behind for a corner.


Another opportunity fell to Eliot Putman in the 52nd minute, but his first-time volley flew well over the crossbar.


Peterborough had chances to extend their lead, with MJ Kamson-Kamara's header being cleared off the line in the 61st minute and Dion Sembie-Ferris missing the target after some skillful play from Putman in the 71st minute.


Buxton's best chance to level the score came in the 83rd minute. Popoola's shot was saved and fell to Dejavan Pedro, whose close-range effort was brilliantly saved by Crook.


Despite Buxton's efforts, they were unable to find a breakthrough, and Peterborough held on to claim their first win of the season.


Buxton don’t have long to try and bounce back with Marine the visitors to the Tarmac Silverlands Stadium on Monday.
