Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Gillingham FC gets underway.
  • 5' Blackpool FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 7' Magnificent from Armand Gnanduillet! That is 30 goals in 397 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 12' Blackpool FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 17' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Gillingham FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 22' The travelling Gillingham FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 24' Connor Ronan is having his name booked by the referee on 24.
  • 29' It looks surprising Blackpool FC does not make any changes. Gary Madine has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 34' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 39' 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.
  • 44' A quiet spell here at . Gillingham FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 46' Fresh legs for Blackpool FC! Matthew Virtue-Thick comes on to replace Jay Spearing.
  • 51' Liam Feeney has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 56' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 59' A meaty challenge results in booking for Stuart O'Keefe on 59.
  • 64' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Blackpool FC that had 397 games and scored 487 goals.
  • 69' The energy levels are beginning to show. Steve Evans might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 70' Another change for Gillingham FC made on 70 minute. Ben Pringle leaves to be changed by Regan Charles-Cook.
  • 73' John Akinde makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Gillingham FC are in front.
  • 76' The Grenada Regan Charles-Cook breaks the deadlock on 76 minutes. 1-2!
  • 76' A tactical swap from Blackpool FC — Nathan Delfouneso on, Gary Madine off on 76 minutes.
  • 81' 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 Fuller suffering a number of foals already.
  • 83' Blackpool FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Grant Ward is hanging Connor Ronan on the field on 83 minute.
  • 88' Taylor Moore has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 89 appearances.
  • 90' The whistle greets Jordan Roberts as he departs to be replaced by Mikael Mandron.
  • Full Time. Gillingham FC beats Blackpool FC
