Milton Keynes Dons and Crawley Town played out a frustrating goalless draw in a match that lived up to its low expectations. The game was characterised by scrappy play and poor discipline, with four yellow cards handed out including three in the opening half-hour. MK Dons were forced into an early tactical reshuffle when Daniel Crowley was substituted after just 37 minutes, disrupting their rhythm. Both managers made wholesale changes in the final quarter as they searched for a breakthrough, but neither side could find the clinical edge needed to break the deadlock in what was ultimately a forgettable League Two encounter.
