STEVENAGE, England (Interstat) — Stevenage opened its League One season with a 1-0 victory over Blackpool at The Lamex Stadium on Monday. The lone goal came in the 66th minute when midfielder Harvey White finished a sequence assisted by defender Carl Piergianni and substitute Tom Bloxham. The result defied the Interstat game simulator’s projection of a 1-1 draw, though its ELO system heavily favored Stevenage with a 77% win probability. The match grew tense late with three yellow cards issued between the 86th and 89th minutes, including to Stevenage’s Piergianni and Bloxham, and Blackpool’s James Husband. Stevenage begins the campaign with a win, while Blackpool starts with a loss.
