Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. AFC Wimbledon host Wigan Athletic FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luke McCormick made 329 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Wigan Athletic FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 15' Wigan Athletic 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.
- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 25' 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 Aaron Pressley suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' With 0 assists to his name this season, Charlie Wyke is clearly more than just a goal scorer for AFC Wimbledon.
- 35' Poor challenge from Kelland Watts. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 40' The referee shows Wigan Athletic FC player a Yellow card on 40.
- 45' Tom Bayliss has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 50' What composure from Paul Kalambayi! The England international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 54' James McClean does the damage! The net is bulging and Wigan Athletic FC surge ahead!
- 59' AFC Wimbledon have won 257 goals from 249 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 61' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Tendayi Darikwa.
- 66' It looks like no one’s ball. Wigan Athletic FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 71' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 73' The AFC Wimbledon manager makes a substitution. Cheye Alexander departs to be replaced by Henry Lawrence.
- 74' AFC Wimbledon make a change. Ayoub Assal trudges off to be replaced by Ethan Chislett on 74 minutes.
- 77' Wigan Athletic FC ring the changes. James McClean has done his job and it is now time for Gavin Massey to step up.
- 81' Another change for AFC Wimbledon made on 81 minute. Jack Rudoni leaves to be changed by Paul Osew.
- 86' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- Game over. The scoreline of 0-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
