City held to a goalless draw by York

Match Report: Exeter City 0 York City 0

Paul Tisdale made two changes to the side which won at Dagenham & Redbridge in midweek, with Matt Oakley and Arron Davies both coming into the side. York, meanwhile, included James Berrett, who scored their winning goal over Yeovil Town on Tuesday.

The visitors began the game on top, but failed to create any clear openings in the opening exchanges. As City started to grow into the game, they showed promise along the flanks, with Lee Holmes popping up on both sides and looking bright, but they also suffered from a lack of chances. Ryan Harley put a free-kick into the wall after Dave Winfield was booked for coming through the back of Manny Oyeleke.

There was a lengthy delay as Stephane Zubar went down awkwardly, with both Zubar and Christian Ribeiro leaving the action with injury soon after. Despite six minutes of added time as a result, neither side could grab an opener.
