Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Plough Lane. Ninety minutes of football awaits between AFC Wimbledon and Wigan Athletic FC.
- 5' 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 Jack Rudoni suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 15' Ayoub Assal has been relatively quiet despite scoring 14 goals in his last 236 appearances.
- 20' Alex Woodyard is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Wigan Athletic FC so far.
- 25' 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.
- 30' Charlie Wyke, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 35' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Kelland Watts.
- 40' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for James McClean.
- 45' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 50' Goal! Paul Kalambayi scores his 2 goal in 236 matches.
- 54' James McClean has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 54 minutes.
- 59' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 61' It’s a booking for Wigan Athletic FC player. Tendayi Darikwa gets a Yellow card.
- 66' It looks surprising AFC Wimbledon does not make any changes. Cheye Alexander has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 71' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both AFC Wimbledon and Wigan Athletic FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 73' The AFC Wimbledon bench stirs into life. Cheye Alexander is withdrawn and Henry Lawrence gets his opportunity.
- 74' Ethan Chislett is replacing Ayoub Assal for the AFC Wimbledon side.
- 77' Another substitution for Wigan Athletic FC to replace James McClean by Gavin Massey on 77 minute.
- 81' AFC Wimbledon manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Paul Osew is hanging Jack Rudoni on the field on 81 minute.
- 86' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Wigan Athletic FC to claim maximum points.
