Cambridge United looked set to claim a crucial three points in their battle against relegation after substitute Shayne Francis Lavery broke the deadlock with 15 minutes remaining. The U's had weathered an even first half before making tactical changes that paid dividends, with Lavery capitalizing on his introduction to fire home what seemed to be the winner. However, their hopes were dashed in dramatic fashion when MK Dons were awarded a penalty in the final moments, which A. Collins converted to salvage a point for the visitors. The draw leaves Cambridge still hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone, while MK Dons will feel they escaped with a valuable point after being outplayed for large periods of the second half.
