Emil Riis scored twice for Leicester, Jamie Donley twice for Luton and Aaron Collins twice for MK Dons, but the games followed different paths. Leicester kept a clean sheet, Luton conceded after scoring three, and Bromley equalised before MK Dons rebuilt their lead. Oxford needed only one goal, while Sheffield Wednesday and Cambridge shared the points. Pairing goal timing with the final total avoids treating a narrow win as the same kind of contest as one that opened up after half-time merely because both winners earned three points.
