Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Blackpool FC and Coventry City FC.
  • 5' Another substitution for Coventry City FC to replace Maxime Biamou by Amadou Bakayoko on 5 minute.
  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Joe Dodoo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Blackpool FC.
  • 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 20' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Mark Cullen.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' Mark Cullen has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 35' Coventry City FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dominic Hyam made 374 appearances and scored 16 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 45' The home supporters are growing impatient. Blackpool FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 48' Mark Cullen puts Blackpool FC on the lead.
  • 53' Harry Pritchard has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 58' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 63' 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 Thompson suffering a number of foals already.

  • 80' Brilliant from the ! Joe Dodoo makes it 2-0 with a superb finish on 80.
  • 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Coventry City FC that had 374 games and scored 474 goals.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Donervon Daniels as he leaves the pitch. Paudie O'Connor steps in for Blackpool FC.
  • Coventry City FC will have plenty to reflect on. Blackpool FC were simply the better side today.
