Oxford United opened with a goal in the 1st minute on a penalty kick. 6 minutes later, York City responded with a goal by LB Danny Blanchett (OVR 58, Age 24). A yellow card in the 16th minute, followed by a red card in the 41st for CM Michael Potts (OVR 56, Age 20) may have ultimately sealed York City's fate. Playing down a man for the entire second half, York City allowed in inevitable goal in the 71st minute, sealing their fate on their opening League 2 contest this year.
