Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Barnsley FC to score. At the same time, Portsmouth FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 10' Portsmouth 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.
- 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 17' Barnsley FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 20' Tom Naylor was booked on 20.
- 25' Portsmouth FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' Craig MacGillivray has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 40' 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.
- 41' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Cauley Woodrow.
- 43' Gareth Evans doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 46' The Barnsley FC manager makes a substitution. Dimitri Cavare departs to be replaced by Jacob Brown.
- 51' Dani Pinillos is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Barnsley FC tonight.
- 56' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 61' A goal from the England international Cauley Woodrow! He fires home on 61 to make it 1-1!
- 63' Time for substitution for Barnsley FC. George Moncur is replaced by Lloyd Isgrove.
- 68' 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.
- 69' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Ronan Curtis.
- 74' 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 Ethan Pinnock suffering a number of foals already.
- 75' The Portsmouth FC bench stirs into life. Ronan Curtis is withdrawn and Anton Walkes gets his opportunity.
- 80' Barnsley FC ring the changes. Brad Potts has done his job and it is now time for Mamadou Thiam to step up.
- 85' Supporters expect more eagerness from Oliver Hawkins, as he is very good at scoring at Oakwell Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 90' Lee Brown catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 90.
- The points are shared — Barnsley FC 1-1 Portsmouth FC. Honours even.
