ROTHERHAM, England (Interstat) — Rotherham United and Stevenage opened the English League One season with a physical 0-0 draw Friday at AESSEAL New York Stadium.

The match, which defied a pregame projection favoring Stevenage, was defined more by discipline than scoring chances. The visitors finished with 10 men after midfielder Daniel Gore received a red card in the 88th minute. Six yellow cards were also issued, with all listed key performers — including five substitutes — booked.

Both teams begin the campaign with identical records: 0 wins, 0 losses and 1 draw across all competitions. The result left each side with a single point in the League One table.
