Swindon 1-1 Walsall
Saturday 17 October 2026 17:40, UK
Tai Sodje's second-half leveller maintained Walsall's unbeaten record in a 1-1 draw against a much-improved Swindon side.
Town went ahead in the softest fashion after just five minutes from a long Mitch Clark throw which saw Stephan Negru hook the ball to Aaron Drinan to poke in from two yards out.

Joseph Hungbo then slipped in the unmarked Antwoine Hackford who launched well over before Clark ran 20 yards to pick up a loose ball and blast at the Saddlers keeper.
Billy Kirman found Negru in a crowded box but his hook drifted over.
Sodje rampaged down the right and hit a vicious dipping shot but Connor Ripley pulled off a stunning save to claw it away.
He then denied Mason Hancock at the near post.
Walsall drew level in the 54th minute when Sodje nodded home a looping deflection at the back post after Ripley had done well to keep out a Hancock piledriver with one hand.
Drinan then thundered just wide of the post.
Ripley did well to repel a hard shot on the turn from Aaron Pressley but neither side could break the deadlock.
