Oldham Athletic made a winning start to their National League campaign with a 1-0 victory over Scunthorpe United at Roots Hall. Teenager Oyebade, who made his first start for the club, played a crucial role in the win, producing a nerveless performance in front of an 8,613-strong crowd. The 19-year-old centre-back was selected by former Hammer Kieron Dyer and helped the Essex side secure their second win from two since Dyer's appointment in the summer. With the win, Oldham Athletic sit fourth in the National League table, just three points behind the leaders. The team will look to build on this momentum as they head to Solihull Moors on Saturday 22 August.
