- 0' KICK OFF: Blackburn Rovers FC gets underway.
- 3' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nathaniel Phillips on 3.
- 8' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 13' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ben Brereton made 382 appearances and scored 61 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 16' Blackburn Rovers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 16.
- 21' AFC Bournemouth is taking the lead after the goal scored by Dominic Solanke on 21.
- 26' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 31' AFC Bournemouth started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 31.
- 36' Siriki Dembele has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' Blackburn Rovers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 40.
- 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Blackburn Rovers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 48' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for John Buckley.
- 52' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jan Paul van Hecke.
- 57' 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 Jordan Zemura suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' Tyrhys Dolan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Joe Rothwell on 60 minute.
- 63' The AFC Bournemouth manager makes a substitution. Jaidon Anthony departs to be replaced by Siriki Dembele.
- 68' The Blackburn Rovers FC manager makes a substitution. Sam Gallagher departs to be replaced by Bradley Dack.
- 70' GOAL! Philip Billing scores on 70.
- 75' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AFC Bournemouth that had 335 games and scored 441 goals.
- 77' Chris Mepham is replacing Ryan Christie for the AFC Bournemouth side.
- 79' GOAL! Philip Billing scores on 79.
- 83' The AFC Bournemouth manager makes a substitution. Dominic Solanke departs to be replaced by Jamal Lowe.
- 87' Jordan Zemura is having his name booked by the referee on 87.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for AFC Bournemouth players.
