AFC Wimbledon halted a long run of defeats against Oxford with a hard-fought draw at the Kassam Stadium.
Oxford had won all eight previous games between the sides but defences were on top throughout their latest contest.
A brilliant goal-saving challenge by Oxford skipper Jake Wright denied Matt Tubbs, while Alfie Potter went close for the hosts when his shot from 20 yards was saved by keeper James Shea.
Both teams had been bidding for a third straight win.
AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley told BBC London 94.9:
'We came here and we were brave. We went with three centre forwards and wanted to have a go at it and cause them problems.
'If you look at our performance, as a Wimbledon fan or part of the group, you'll see that they haven't had an attempt or troubled James Shea and we've had the best two chances of the game.
'To play three forwards and draw 0-0 is strange, but the boys have put in a fantastic shift after five games in two weeks.'
