- 0' The game is set. Wrexham AFC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oliver Rathbone made 140 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Wrexham AFC that had 115 games and scored 101 goals.
- 11' GOAL! Davis Keillor-Dunn scores on 11. Assisted by Adam Phillips
- 16' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 21' Barnsley FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 21.
- 24' What a strike from Adam Phillips! The score is 2-0.
- 29' 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.
- 34' Max Cleworth needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 4 Yellow cards this season.
- 39' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 44' It looks like no one’s ball. Wrexham AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 49' The travelling Wrexham AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 54' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 59' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 64' It’s high time Phil Parkinson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 69' 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.

- 79' Supporters expect more eagerness from James McClean, as he is very good at scoring at Oakwell Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 80' What a strike from Max Cleworth! The score is 2-1.
- 85' 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 Barry Cotter suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' 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.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Wrexham AFC.
