- 0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' 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 Jon Guthrie suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mamadou Thiam, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Barnsley FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Kieffer Moore has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 40' Walsall FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
- 45' Walsall FC is showing some good football. However, Walsall FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 46' Victor Adeboyejo is replacing Cameron McGeehan for the Barnsley FC side.
- 51' 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.
- 55' Goal! Victor Adeboyejo scores his 43 goal in 385 matches.
- 60' 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.
- 62' Isaiah Osbourne is having his name booked by the referee on 62.
- 67' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 72' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jack Walton made 385 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 77' 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' Walsall FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Andy Cook is hanging Josh Ginnelly on the field on 81 minute.
- 85' Walsall FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kieron Morris is hanging Josh Gordon on the field on 85 minute.
- 88' GOAL! Andy Cook scores on 88. Assisted by George Dobson
