Swindon Town and Fleetwood Town shared the spoils in a feisty League Two encounter that saw eight yellow cards brandished throughout a combative 90 minutes. Billy Bodin's first-half strike gave the home side the advantage at the break, but Mark Helm's second-half equaliser ensured the points were shared. The match was characterised more by its physical nature than flowing football, with referee having to manage numerous flashpoints including a heated argument between Will Davies and Jamie Knight-Lebel late in the game. Both teams made multiple substitutions in search of a winner, but neither could find the decisive breakthrough in what was ultimately a hard-fought draw that does little to separate two mid-table sides.
