- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Blackpool FC is hosting Middlesbrough FC for another epic battle.
- 5' Grant Ward has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 7' James Husband picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 12' 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 Chuba Akpom suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' What a strike from Isaiah Jones! The score is 0-1.
- 20' Marvin Ekpiteta needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 14 Yellow cards this season.
- 25' Marcus Forss has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 16 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' The travelling Middlesbrough FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 34' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dominic Thompson on 34.

- 54' Rhys Williams has so much to prove this time. He replaces James Husband on 54 minute.

- 63' The whistle greets Marcus Forss as he departs to be replaced by Matty Crooks.
- 64' Shayne Lavery gets the nod from Blackpool FC. He replaces Gary Madine and will look to change the dynamic.
