Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Plough Lane. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' AFC Wimbledon currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. AFC Wimbledon must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 25' 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.
- 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Oxford United FC that had 370 games and scored 494 goals.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nesta Guinness-Walker made 14 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' Oxford United FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 50' AFC Wimbledon are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 52' GOAL! Josh Ruffels fires home to make it 0-1!
- 57' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 58' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Joe Pigott.
- 62' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Joe Pigott makes it 1-1.
- 62' The referee does not hesitate — a Red card for James Henry on 62 minutes.
- 63' AFC Wimbledon make a change. Ayoub Assal trudges off to be replaced by Ryan Longman on 63 minutes.
- 64' Sensational shot from Alex Woodyard. AFC Wimbledon is back in the lead.
- 67' Sam Winnall is ready to make an impact after coming on for Matt Taylor at the 67 minute mark.
- 72' AFC Wimbledon 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.
- 77' The AFC Wimbledon bench stirs into life. Jack Rudoni is withdrawn and Shane McLoughlin gets his opportunity.
- 79' The AFC Wimbledon manager makes a substitution. Ollie Palmer departs to be replaced by Paul Osew.
- 81' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nesta Guinness-Walker on 81.
- 82' A moment of madness from Nesta Guinness-Walker on 82 minutes earns him a Yellow card. AFC Wimbledon will be frustrated.
- 82' Anthony Forde is ready to make an impact after coming on for Elliot Lee at the 82 minute mark.
- 87' 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 Ben Heneghan suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' The Oxford United FC manager makes a substitution. Cameron Brannagan departs to be replaced by Alex Gorrin.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from AFC Wimbledon to claim maximum points.
