Events

Match Events

  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Liam Roberts made 65 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Exeter City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 17' A goal from the Scotland international Jack Aitchison! He fires home on 17 to make it 0-1!
  • 22' Jack Shepherd has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 27' Vincent Harper has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 198 appearances.
  • 31' Goal! Reece Cole scores his 11 goal in 10 matches.
  • 36' Barnsley FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Exeter City FC backline.
  • 41' It is a cagey affair so far. Barnsley FC in their trying to find a way past Exeter City FC's compact .
  • 46' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Barnsley FC that had 392 games and scored 503 goals.
  • 51' Barnsley FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.

  • 70' Luca Connell is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jonathan Russell at the 70 minute mark.
  • 75' 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.
  • 80' Exeter City 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.
