MK DonsMilton Keynes Dons0Sheff WedSheffield Wednesday1
Josh Windass' penalty gave Sheffield Wednesday their first win of the League One season as they ground out a 1-0 victory at MK Dons.
What was a clash between two teams who suffered play-off disappointment last term turned out to be a scrappy affair, which ended with the hosts' second defeat in two games of the new campaign.
Wednesday were awarded a penalty after 20 minutes when Ethan Robson was judged to have fouled Windass, who picked himself up to send Jamie Cumming the wrong way.
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru then had a big chance to double the Owls' lead right on half-time after shrugging aside Daniel Oyegoke, but Cumming stood strong to make an important save.
MK Dons created little in the first half, but they forced David Stockdale into two good saves in quick succession from Matt Smith and Dean Lewington.
Stockdale then produced an even better stop to keep out Dan Kemp's effort at the halfway point of the second half, as the hosts' wait for a first goal of the season went on.

Marvellous, even with RUFC not playing today their so called fans are already on the MKD v SWFC hys, just shows how fierce their closet support for SWFC really is.
Welcome to the site millermen, your contributions will, as ever give rise to much mirth.
Expect to see sad wombles as well.
From an MK Dons fan.
We got our goal and then shut up shop like true champions.
Can't see anything stopping this Wednesday juggernaut to be honest.
Just a pity MK Don's couldn't have given us more tickets as we'd have took 20k comfortably.
Enjoyed chatting with the Adelaide Owls before the match.
WAWAW
Second half just kept giving them the ball back, but defended well . Good 3pts
This MKD team seems to have lost the plot. But worse, so have the Owls. The defence looked a bit better than last week, but they couldnt have been any worse, could they.
Always a pleasure to see Milton Paradise lost Dons get null points.
Always, always an absolute pleasure.
From a Manchester City fan.
Surely such a big match is sold out or does one watch his Royal County Reading at Rotherham……..
Ya know what I mean !
