Notts County began the 2016-17 League Two season with a defeat as they went down 2-0 at Yeovil Town.
The Glovers dominated the first half at Huish Park and struck twice to give John Sheridan's men too much to do as Kevin Dawson scored his first goal for the club in two years.
It proved to be a controversial strike as he appeared to impede goalkeeper Adam Collin before nudging the loose ball into the net in the 16th minute.
Seven minutes later, it was Otis Khan's turn to get on the scoresheet as he netted on his debut, the former Barnsley winger reacting to a Ryan Hedges shot that Collin could only parry and slotting home.
The Magpies improved as the match ticked on, with Jonathan Forte, Graham Burke and Carl Dickinson all weighing in with chances.
Forte, in particular, was denied a goal by a fine save from Artur Krysiak after he had latched onto a great knockdown by Vadaine Oliver, but that was as close as Notts came to getting on the scoresheet as Yeovil saw the game out.
