Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between AFC Bournemouth and Preston North End FC is underway.
  • 5' Jamal Lowe needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 10' Preston North End 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.
  • 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' The travelling Preston North End FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' AFC Bournemouth is showing some good football. However, AFC Bournemouth are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. AFC Bournemouth is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 45' It’s high time Scott Parker made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 52' GOAL! Ben Whiteman scores on 52.
  • 57' 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 Philip Billing suffering a number of foals already.
  • 58' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jefferson Lerma.
