Fleetwood Town 0-1 Shrewsbury Town

Daniel Udoh got the only goal as nine-man Fleetwood's dismal start to the season continued with a home defeat by Shrewsbury Town.

The hosts started well and their best opportunity came when the ball reached Junior Quitirna, whose and his acrobatic kick hit the post before being cleared off the line.

But, they came to rue their missed chances when Shrewsbury took the lead with their first shot on 41 minutes.

A mistake from Scott Robertson put Udoh one-on-one with home keeper Jay Lynch and he easily scored.

Two minutes later, Fleetwood were then reduced to 10 men when Lynch was shown a red card for bringing down Ryan Bowman.

After the break, Salop made the most of the extra man with Carl Winchester driving into the box from out wide to force a save from substitute goalkeeper Stephen McMullan.

However, Fleetwood responded when Jack Marriott poked a cross into the back of the net but the flag was up for offside.

The Cod Army continued to push but then lost Josh Earl to a second red card for a foul on Elliott Bennett five minutes into stoppage time.
