Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Oakwell Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Barnsley FC and Exeter City FC.
- 1' The England Jay Stansfield breaks the deadlock on 1 minutes. 0-1!
- 6' Josh Martin has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 372 appearances.
- 11' Exeter City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 16' It looks like no one’s ball. Exeter City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 21' Over 21 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 26' Barnsley FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 31' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 36' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Exeter City FC that had 198 games and scored 203 goals.
- 38' The supporters are chanting for Adam Phillips. He replaces James Norwood on 38 minute.
- 43' With 0 assists to his name this season, Kgagelo Chauke is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Exeter City FC.
- 46' A tactical swap from Barnsley FC — Thomas Edwards on, Jordan Williams off on 46 minutes.
- 48' The deadlock is broken! Jay Stansfield gets on the scoresheet on 48 minutes.
- 53' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.

- 75' Barnsley FC is showing some good football. However, Barnsley FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 80' 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 Nicky Cadden suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 89' Exeter City FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 90' Kgagelo Chauke is replacing Jevani Brown for the Exeter City FC side.
