CHESTERFIELD, England (Interstat) — Chesterfield opened its League Two season with a 1-0 victory over Gillingham on Tuesday at SMH Group Stadium. Defender Sam Curtis scored the decisive goal in the 16th minute, finishing a play assisted by substitute Omar Beckles. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat that forecast a draw, though its system heavily favored Chesterfield to win. The home side’s defense held firm as Gillingham failed to find an equalizer. The match saw three yellow cards, all issued to Chesterfield substitutes: Beckles in the 23rd minute, Remeao Hutton in the 31st and Ethan Coleman in the 88th. With the win, Chesterfield begins the campaign with a perfect record while Gillingham starts with a loss.
