Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Ewood Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jack Whatmough made 371 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from John Buckley, as he is very good at scoring at Ewood Park with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
- 15' Scott Wharton has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' Blackburn Rovers FC is showing some good football. However, Blackburn Rovers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' The travelling Wigan Athletic FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 35' Omar Rekik needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 40' Blackburn Rovers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 45' Blackburn Rovers 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.
- 50' 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 Martin Kelly suffering a number of foals already.
- 55' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 60' 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.
- 65' 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.
- 70' 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.
- 75' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Wigan Athletic FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 80' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 85' It looks like no one’s ball. Wigan Athletic FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 90' It looks surprising Wigan Athletic FC does not make any changes. Aynsley Pears has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- The final score is 0-0.
