Gary Taylor-Fletcher scored a fine volley to earn Blackpool a 1-0 win over Hull City on their return to the Championship at the KC Stadium.
Taylor-Fletcher, who scored Blackpool's first goal in the Premier League last season, lashed home a glorious angled effort nine minutes from time to secure a 1-0 victory.
Hull's Tom Cairney and veteran striker Kevin Phillips on his Blackpool debut both shot against the post in the first half, while the hosts were made to pay for a succession of missed chances after the break.
Blackpool were relegated on the final day of last season and started slowly at the KC Stadium.
Hull almost went ahead in style in the 12th minute. Cairney's curling left-footed free-kick from 30 yards looked headed for the top corner only to come back off the post.
Robbie Brady, on loan from Manchester United, then cut inside from the left only to pull his shot wide of the near post.
At the other end, Phillips, 38 years old but still a handful, made ground down the right and sent in a cross which goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi came for but failed to cut out.
Elliot Grandin got his head to the ball but, under pressure from two defenders, could not direct his effort on target.
The lively Brady then got to the byline and fired in a cross which Stephen Crainey had to head behind.
But it was the visitors who ended the first half the strongest as Taylor-Fletcher pounced on a poor clearance and played Phillips in down the right, but the former England striker's fierce shot hit the outside of the near post with Gulacsi beaten.
