Match Info

Oxford United progressed to the second round of the English Football League Cup with a narrow 1-0 victory over Colchester United on August 13, 2025. The League One side secured the win at the Kassam Stadium with a professional performance against their League Two opponents. The only goal of the game came in the 22nd minute when Oxford's midfielder found space on the edge of the box and fired a low shot into the corner. Colchester worked hard to get back into the tie and had a couple of good opportunities, most notably a header that struck the crossbar in the second half. However, Oxford's defense held firm, and the home team saw out the victory to book their place in the next round. It was a job well done for Oxford, who avoided a potential cup upset.
