MILTON KEYNES, England (March 18, 2026) (Interstat) — Milton Keynes Dons opened its League Two season with a 1-0 victory over Colchester United on Wednesday at Stadium MK.

The lone goal came in the 39th minute from substitute Matt Macey. The match was a physical affair, producing six yellow cards, with Colchester’s Kyreece Lisbie and Samson Tovide booked in the first 20 minutes.

The result defied the pre-match projection from Interstat, whose simulator had forecast a 2-2 draw. Its ELO rating system, however, gave MK Dons a 77% probability to win. Both clubs now hold 0-0 records to start the league campaign.
