The result as recorded when the match ended. Scorers are named only when every goal has a named scorer, none was an own goal and each scorer is on that side's team sheet.
Newest first, competitive matches settled in normal time. Our records begin in January 2024 and do not hold every match, so a meeting can be missing.
