Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Ewood Park!
  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' The 35-year-old Jack Rodwell has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' Blackburn Rovers FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Blackburn Rovers FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 25' Ipswich Town FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 30' Ipswich Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Ipswich Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 45' The home supporters are growing impatient. Blackburn Rovers FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 46' Blackburn Rovers FC ring the changes. Harrison Reed has done his job and it is now time for Joe Rothwell to step up.
  • 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Tony Mowbray will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 56' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 61' 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 Harrison Reed suffering a number of foals already.

  • 74' Joe Nuttall adds to his 0 season tally! Blackburn Rovers FC lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 76' Joe Nuttall is having his name booked by the referee on 76.
  • 81' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Blackburn Rovers FC that had 397 games and scored 491 goals.
  • 82' Blackburn Rovers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Richard Smallwood is hanging Corry Evans on the field on 82 minute.
  • 83' A change in the Ipswich Town FC ranks — Freddie Sears exits the field as Teddy Bishop enters on 83.
