Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Blackpool FC is hosting Ipswich Town FC for another epic battle.
- 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Ipswich Town FC winning 100% of all matches.
- 15' Keshi Anderson has been relatively quiet despite scoring 15 goals in his last 57 appearances.
- 16' The England Luke Chambers breaks the deadlock on 16 minutes. 0-1!
- 21' The travelling Ipswich Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 26' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Blackpool FC and Ipswich Town FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 31' It looks surprising Ipswich Town FC does not make any changes. Tomas Holy has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 36' What a moment for Gwion Edwards! That strike on 36 puts his side firmly in control.
- 37' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Ethan Robson on 37 minutes.
- 42' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 45' A stunning finish from Teddy Bishop — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jordan Gabriel on 45.
- 50' Myles Kenlock catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 50.
- 55' 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 Keanen Bennetts suffering a number of foals already.
- 57' The supporters are chanting for Kayden Jackson. He replaces Oliver Hawkins on 57 minute.
- 60' What a moment for Gary Madine! That strike on 60 puts his side firmly in control.
- 65' A quiet spell here at Bloomfield Road. Ipswich Town FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 67' That is a Yellow card for Ipswich Town FC. Andre Dozzell will be fuming at that decision.
- 69' A change in the Ipswich Town FC ranks — Teddy Bishop exits the field as Keanen Bennetts enters on 69.
- 74' Ipswich Town FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 76' Jordan Williams gets the nod from Blackpool FC. He replaces Keshi Anderson and will look to change the dynamic.
- 80' Gwion Edwards adds to his 0 season tally! Ipswich Town FC lead 1-4 — and this changes everything.
- 85' Blackpool FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 85.
- 90' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Chris Maxwell made 390 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 1-4 the final result. Blackpool FC will be bitterly disappointed.
