Braintree grabbed their first point of the season after they held Tranmere Rovers to a goalless draw.

The game waited until the ninth minute of stoppage time at the end of the match before its first shot on target.

Tranmere substitute Adam Mekki's effort was comfortably saved, while Jay Harris's 25-yarder was the only other notable strike on goal by the visitors.

The hosts' pair of Simeon Akinola and Dan Sparkes mustered long-range shots that flew over in an uninspiring game.

Braintree climbed to 20th as a result of the draw, while Tranmere, who lost their 100% start to the season, dropped to fourth.
