Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Accrington Stanley FC to score. At the same time, Blackpool FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' 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 Keshi Anderson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 20' The travelling Blackpool FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' 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.

  • 45' Blackpool FC is showing some good football. However, Blackpool FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 55' The referee shows Blackpool FC player a Yellow card on 55.
  • 60' It looks surprising Accrington Stanley FC does not make any changes. Oliver Turton has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Accrington Stanley FC that had 231 games and scored 314 goals.
  • 70' Marvin Ekpiteta has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
