Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against AFC Wimbledon and Burton Albion FC has kicked off!
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' Jack Rudoni, a England , has 33 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' It looks surprising Burton Albion FC does not make any changes. Callum Reilly has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Alex Woodyard needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 25 Yellow cards this season.
  • 30' The 32-year-old Joe Pigott has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 40' It looks like no one’s ball. AFC Wimbledon is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Michael Mancienne, as he is very good at scoring at Plough Lane with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 49' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ben Heneghan.
  • 54' Nesta Guinness-Walker has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
  • 59' What composure from Michael Bostwick! The England international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 64' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AFC Wimbledon needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 68' Ollie Palmer is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jack Rudoni at the 68 minute mark.
  • 69' A tactical swap from AFC Wimbledon — Callum Reilly on, Ryan Longman off on 69 minutes.
  • 74' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 79' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Burton Albion FC that had 372 games and scored 418 goals.
  • 83' AFC Wimbledon manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jaakko Oksanen is hanging George Dobson on the field on 83 minute.
  • 85' Burton Albion FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Terry Taylor is hanging Daniel Rowe on the field on 85 minute.
  • 90' Kane Hemmings is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mike Fondop-Talom at the 90 minute mark.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — AFC Wimbledon 0-1 Burton Albion FC.
