Fred Onyedinma’s early opener was cancelled out by Finley Munroe.

Blackpool and Wycombe shared the points in an opening day 1-1 draw.

The visitors led for long periods at Bloomfield Road, following an early opener from Fred Onyedinma.

This was cancelled out by substitute Finley Munroe, who made an instant impact following his loan move from Middlesbrough last week.

The deadlock was broken after seven minutes, with Onyedinma flicking a corner from Aaron Morley past Bailey Peacock-Farrell on Wycombe’s first venture forward.

Blackpool’s first clear route back into the contest came from a Chairboys mistake.

A momentary loss of concentration from goalkeeper Conor Hazard saw a Sam Parker back pass dribble just past the post.

On the opposite side of the break, Junior Quitirna came close to doubling the Chairboys’ lead on a couple of occasions, with one shot being scuffed into the keeper’s hands and another going into the side-netting.

This kept the game alive, with a Tom Bloxham ball from the right finding Munroe at the back post to tuck home the leveller in the 77th minute.
