BRAINTREE, England (Interstat) — Braintree Town and Woking opened their National League seasons with a 0-0 draw at Rare Breed Meat Co. Stadium on Monday.

The match defied pregame projections, as Woking entered with a nearly 70% probability to win according to Interstat’s ELO system. The simulator had predicted a 1-1 scoreline, but neither side could break through in a contest marked by late discipline issues. Three yellow cards were issued in second-half stoppage time, to William Jääskeläinen, Chay Cooper and Callum Harriott.

The result leaves both clubs with identical records to start the campaign: 0 wins, 0 losses and 1 draw across all competitions.
