Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. AFC Wimbledon kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Swindon Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tyler Smith, as he is very good at scoring at Plough Lane with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 20' AFC Wimbledon is taking the lead after the goal scored by Joe Pigott on 20.
  • 20' Jonathan Grounds is having his name booked by the referee on 20.
  • 25' AFC Wimbledon started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 26' GOAL! Will Nightingale scores on 26. Assisted by Jack Rudoni
  • 26' Jordan Lyden is having his name booked by the referee on 26.
  • 31' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 36' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 37' Time for substitution for Swindon Town FC. Paul Caddis is replaced by Jordan Garrick.
  • 42' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Swindon Town FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 44' Goal! Ayoub Assal scores his 14 goal in 236 matches.
  • 45' Brett Pitman is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
  • 46' Joel Grant is replacing Jordan Lyden for the Swindon Town FC side.
  • 51' Tyrese Omotoye has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 54' Joe Pigott with the second goal in the match!
  • 56' Hallam Hope is replacing Brett Pitman for the Swindon Town FC side.
  • 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Swindon Town FC that had 57 games and scored 65 goals.
  • 65' Time for substitution for AFC Wimbledon. George Dobson is replaced by Jaakko Oksanen.
  • 66' Shane McLoughlin has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jack Rudoni on 66 minute.
  • 71' 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 Paul Caddis suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 77' Another substitution for AFC Wimbledon to replace Will Nightingale by Paul Kalambayi on 77 minute.
  • 79' Goal! Tyler Smith scores his 17 goal in 10 matches.
  • 84' The travelling Swindon Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 89' 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.
  • 90' The referee shows AFC Wimbledon player a Yellow card on 90.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Swindon Town FC.
