On-loan Blackburn winger Dilan Markanday's early low shot was turned wide by Dons goalkeeper Tom McGill, while Bailey Hobson also put an effort on target - which was deflected wide - as the hosts tried their luck.

Ellis Harrison threatened to put MK Dons further ahead soon afterwards with a well-struck shot which forced a good save from Max Thompson, who palmed it wide.
Chesterfield's Armando Dobra tried a low shot which was deflected just wide and Tom Naylor tested McGill with a firm drive.
Just before the break, White made it 2-0 when he ran unchallenged and fired low beyond Thompson.
Hendry was through on goal early in the second half but Thompson managed to keep the ball out.
Markanday twice went close before Oldaker pulled a goal back with a superb free-kick after 76 minutes but it proved a mere consolation.
