MK Dons 0 Walsall 1 – verdict

Saturday 25th April 2009, 4:53PM BST.

dons2Walsall had their say in the League One promotion race with a win at MK Dons that cost the home side automatic promotion.

The Saddlers are out of the promotion picture but won the game through Jabo Ibehre’s clinical finish in the second-half, his 11th of the season the only goal at Stadium MK.

That result, coupled with Peterborough’s win at Cheltenham, was enough to see the Posh promoted – for the second successive season – in the second and last automatic place.

It also gave Walsall a real chance of a top 10 finish, with 10th-placed Oldham coming to the Banks’s Stadium one place and one point above their hosts next Saturday.
