Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for AFC Bournemouth to score. At the same time, Oldham Athletic AFC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' 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 Cameron Carter-Vickers suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AFC Bournemouth that had 335 games and scored 441 goals.
  • 15' It looks surprising Oldham Athletic AFC does not make any changes. Joshua King has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' The travelling Oldham Athletic AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AFC Bournemouth needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
