Paul Warne’s managerial debut ends in draw as MK Dons face Newport County

Paul Warne's debut game in charge of MK Dons ended in a 0-0 draw against Newport County.

Both teams didn't have many chances in a closely contested match, resulting in both clubs extending their winless streak to six games as the season nears its end.

This match marked Warne's first game as MK Dons head coach, which came after he was appointed earlier in the week. The new manager was aiming to secure his first three points.

The first half was a bit fragmented, with limited scoring opportunities. Newport's Cameron Antwi had a good attempt saved by MK's goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray, while MK's Connor Lemonheigh-Evans had a shot kept out by Nick Townsend.

In the second half, Jack Sanders had a shot blocked by Newport's keeper Townsend, and Lemonheigh-Evans hit the post after a promising run into the box.

Despite both teams' efforts, they struggled to create clear chances as the game progressed, resulting in a goalless draw.
