Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Barnsley FC host Exeter City FC — let the battle begin!
- 1' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jay Stansfield makes it 0-1.
- 6' The home supporters are growing impatient. Barnsley FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 11' Sonny Cox has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 198 appearances.
- 16' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 16 minutes.
- 21' 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.
- 26' Barnsley FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Exeter City FC backline.
- 31' Liam Kitching needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 3 Red cards this season.
- 36' The 31-year-old Devante Cole has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 38' A change in the Barnsley FC ranks — James Norwood exits the field as Adam Phillips enters on 38.
- 43' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Thomas Edwards. He replaces Jordan Williams on 46 minute.
- 48' Jay Stansfield makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and Exeter City FC are in front.
- 53' 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 Mads Juel Andersen suffering a number of foals already.
- 58' Barnsley FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 63' Ziyad Larkeche is replacing Nicky Cadden for the Barnsley FC side.
- 68' 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.
- 70' Luca Connell is ready to make an impact after coming on for Josh Benson at the 70 minute mark.
- 75' The energy levels are beginning to show. Matt Taylor might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 80' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 85' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 89' Jevani Brown was booked on 89.
- 90' Jevani Brown makes way for Kgagelo Chauke at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Exeter City FC.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Exeter City FC to claim maximum points.
