COLCHESTER, England (Interstat) — Colchester United opened its League Two season with a 2-0 victory over Cheltenham Town on Saturday at JobServe Community Stadium. Kyreece Lisbie gave the hosts an early lead with a goal in the eighth minute. Micah Mbick secured the win with a second-half strike in the 50th minute. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat that had forecast a 2-2 draw, though its ELO system heavily favored Colchester. The home side’s defense held firm to secure the clean sheet victory.
