Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Oakwell Stadium that hosts another battle between Barnsley FC and Stockport County FC.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Oliver Norwood has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Stockport County FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Barnsley FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 23' GOAL! Adama Sidibeh scores on 23.
  • 28' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Stockport County FC winning 50% of all matches.
  • 33' Corey O'Keeffe needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 38' 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 Tom Bradshaw suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' The referee calls foul for Jonathan Bland. He receives a card.
  • 45' The travelling Stockport County FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 50' 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.
  • 52' GOAL! Adam Phillips scores on 52. Assisted by Corey O'Keeffe
  • 53' Sensational shot from Adam Phillips. Barnsley FC is back in the lead.
  • 58' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 63' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tayo Edun, as he is very good at scoring at Oakwell Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 68' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Barnsley FC that had 385 games and scored 496 goals.
  • 71' GOAL! Oliver Norwood scores on 71.
  • 76' 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.
  • 81' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ethan Pye made 118 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 86' Barnsley FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a card for Lewis Fiorini.
  • Another three points for Stockport County FC.
