Key Events

  • The season begins this afternoon for Dons at the University of Bolton Stadium

Second half back underway

Bolton restart the game, poised nicely at 1-1.

HALF TIME: Bolton 1-1 MK Dons

An intriguing half. Eisa and Sheehan on the scoresheet, maybe a red card for Bolton which wasn’t given, but tempers have flares since. Some good stuff, some bad stuff and some scary stuff from Dons. An entertaining watch.

44 mins: What a let off

Walker passes to Doyle on the edge of the penalty area, unbelievable. Fortunately, O’Hora is able to recover. Just ridiculous, how didn’t he see him?

35 mins: The game is full of fire and life now

Silly from Darling, just wafting at the ball on the edge of the box and allowing Doyle and Sarcevic to get into the box. O’Hora gives the latter some grief, Bolton want a pen, a big swipe from the ref to wave it away.

32 mins: Williams lucky to stay on the pitch

A really horrible challenge from MJ Williams on Zak Jules, he’s jumped in two-footed there on Zak Jules but somehow escapes with a booking. Dons were absolutely furious with it, and rightly so.

30 mins: Bolton are level

A terrific free-kick from Josh Sheehan leaves Walker with no chance there to level things up for Bolton Wanderers.

26 mins: Should be 2-0

Oh it should be 2-0. Eisa catches out the Bolton defence he’s through, the angle narrows and he pulls it back to Parrott, but he can’t convert after turning the keeper and it’s cleared away by Bolton

MK Dons are in front from absolutely nowhere! Matt O’Riley pinches the ball after a loose pass from George Johnston, quick as a flash he slips in Mo Eisa and the record signing fires it past Matt Gilks to give the visitors the lead!

20 mins: The sun is coming out, and the game is lighting up

Not many chances for either side but it’s got a lively kick to it so far. Walker’s kicking is letting him down at the moment, gifting the best chance to Dapo Afolayan to fizz one just wide.

At the other end, Watson’s chance remains the best one for the visitors, Twine, Parrott and Eisa yet to really trouble Matt Gilks.

2 mins: Early change for Dons

Tennai Watson is left in acres of space on the right-hand side, he’s picked out by Twine and after his first effort hits a Bolton defender, the second falls on his left foot and he blasts over the top.
