Stenhousemuir's work was largely done before halftime. The score breakdown showed the visitors taking the opening period 2-0, a decisive spell that put Alloa on the back foot and shaped the rest of the afternoon. From there, the away side only needed control, discipline and one more response to keep the hosts from building any real momentum.
Alloa did improve after the restart and avoided being shut out, but they never fully reversed the direction of the contest. The second-half split finished 1-1, which suited Stenhousemuir and confirmed the outcome without late drama. For Alloa, the summary was a frustrating one: one goal in response, but too much ground already lost.
The result leaves Stenhousemuir with the stronger finish and the better highlights from this Championship meeting. Even without a full set of match stats, the scoreboard offered a straightforward read - the visitors seized control early, protected their advantage, and closed out a deserved 3-1 win.
