Events

5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
10' Huddersfield Town AFC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
11' The deadlock is broken! Robert Apter gets on the scoresheet on 11 minutes.
16' Blackpool FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
21' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
26' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
31' Joe Taylor is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Blackpool FC so far.
36' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Steve Bruce will be considering his options from the bench.
41' Matty Pearson is having his name booked by the referee on 41.
46' Joe Hodge makes way for Antony Evans at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Huddersfield Town AFC.
47' A goal from the Wales international Joe Taylor! He fires home on 47 to make it 1-1!
49' Albie Morgan doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
50' Brodie Spencer has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 50 minutes.
55' The supporters are chanting for Elkan Baggott. He replaces Matthew Pennington on 55 minute.

82' Rhys Healey has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dion Charles on 82 minute.
83' Time for substitution for Blackpool FC. Tom Bloxham is replaced by Sonny Carey.
