Walsall's eighth home game without a win ended in a 0-0 draw against Cambridge United. The result keeps Cambridge in the automatic promotion places in third, while Walsall stays 10th, two points off the play-off spots.
What happened?
The stalemate was a fair result, given the few clear chances created by both teams. Cambridge fashioned the first chance as Sullay Kaikai's shot from Dominic Ball's cross was smartly saved by Saddlers goalkeeper Myles Roberts.
Key moments
But while endeavour was high in the first half, quality was not, with Walsall's Daniel Kanu and Cambridge pair Kaikai and Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu ballooning decent openings well over. Cambridge almost took the lead just before half-time but Ben Knight's close-range header was superbly blocked by Walsall defender Mason Hancock.
