Match Events

29' A meaty challenge results in booking for George Nurse on 29.
34' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shrewsbury Town FC that had 329 games and scored 385 goals.
39' 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.
