One Oldham fan posted on his Facebook page: “We probably deserved a draw, but we were ultimately punished for a poor 25 minutes at the start of the match, where we conceded two goals.

Walsall 2 - 1 Swindon Town
Connor Barrett kept his nerve amid the mayhem as 10-man Walsall snatched a dramatic win over Swindon in a feisty League Two curtain-raiser.
Barrett latched onto a low cross, weaved through a crowded area and coolly slotted past the exposed Connor Ripley to seal a backs-to-the-wall victory for the visitors, who had spent much of the afternoon pinned deep in their own half.
Colchester United 1 - 1 Tranmere Rovers
Tranmere Rovers were left frustrated on the opening day of the League Two season after a late equaliser from Kyreece Lisbie salvaged a draw for Colchester United.
Connor Jennings had previously given the visitors a deserved lead in the 15th minute, pouncing from close range after Cameron Norman rose well to nod the ball across the box.
