5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
10' AFC Bournemouth have won 465 goals from 348 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Lloyd Kelly suffering a number of foals already.
20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
25' What a moment for Jack Stacey! That strike on 25 puts his side firmly in control.
30' Blackburn Rovers FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
40' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both AFC Bournemouth and Blackburn Rovers FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
42' Brilliant from the ! Bradley Johnson makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 42.
47' It looks like no one’s ball. Blackburn Rovers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
48' Steve Cook is having his name booked by the referee on 48.
51' A moment of madness from Jefferson Lerma on 51 minutes earns him a Yellow card. AFC Bournemouth will be frustrated.
53' A goal from the Colombia international Jefferson Lerma! He fires home on 53 to make it 2-1!
58' Blackburn Rovers FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
59' Dan Gosling is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jefferson Lerma at the 59 minute mark.
64' It looks surprising AFC Bournemouth does not make any changes. Lewis Travis has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
68' Another substitution for Blackburn Rovers FC to replace Joe Rankin-Costello by Joe Rothwell on 68 minute.
73' Magnificent from Adam Armstrong! That is 91 goals in 397 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
78' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Tony Mowbray will be considering his options from the bench.
79' The supporters are chanting for David Brooks. He replaces Chris Mepham on 79 minute.
84' The deadlock is broken! Arnaut Danjuma gets on the scoresheet on 84 minutes.
85' AFC Bournemouth manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Philip Billing is hanging Junior Stanislas on the field on 85 minute.
