Events

  • 15' The 38-year-old Leigh Broxham has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' 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.

  • 48' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
