Cheltenham 1-0 Tranmere
Cheltenham continued their dream start to the season with a win over Tranmere.
Nigerian striker Kayode Odejayi's stunning eighth-minute strike won it for the hosts after Steve Guinan had helped on a JJ Melligan through ball.
Odejayi could have added to his side's lead but one effort was bravely saved by Gavin Ward and another went wide.
Tranmere pushed for an equaliser after the break but their closest effort came from Carl Tremarco which was cleared off the line by John Finnigan.
