- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Barnsley FC and Charlton Athletic FC get this one started.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Charlton Athletic FC that had 378 games and scored 485 goals.
- 10' Charlton Athletic FC is showing some good football. However, Charlton Athletic FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' Barnsley 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 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 Devante Cole suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' Magnificent from Adam Phillips! That is 46 goals in 342 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 24' Ashley Maynard-Brewer was booked on 24.
- 29' Supporters expect more eagerness from Chem Campbell, as he is very good at scoring at Oakwell Ground with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 34' George Dobson has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 65 appearances.
- 39' Jamie McCart has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 39.
- 44' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 48' Poor challenge from Scott Fraser. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 51' Herbie Kane was booked on 51.
- 52' The referee has no hesitation. Sam Cosgrove is booked for Barnsley FC — card on 52.
- 56' A tactical swap from Barnsley FC — John McAtee on, Sam Cosgrove off on 56 minutes.

- 63' Another substitution for Charlton Athletic FC to replace Slobodan Tedic by Daniel Kanu on 63 minute.
- 68' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 70' The England Corey Blackett-Taylor breaks the deadlock on 70 minutes. 1-1!
- 75' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Michael Hector made 379 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 78' Fabio Jalo is replacing Devante Cole for the Barnsley FC side.
- 83' Max Watters has so much to prove this time. He replaces Herbie Kane on 83 minute.
- 86' Owen Dodgson picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
