Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Bloomfield Road. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Blackpool FC and Preston North End FC.
- 5' Liam Bridcutt is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Preston North End FC so far.
- 10' Blackpool FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Preston North End FC backline.
- 15' 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 Alistair McCann suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' 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.
- 25' Brad Potts has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 27' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Alvaro Fernandez on 27 minutes.
- 30' The deadlock is broken! Jerry Yates gets on the scoresheet on 30 minutes.
- 30' Liam Bridcutt makes way for Sonny Carey at the 30 minute mark. A tactical switch from Blackpool FC.
- 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 38' GOAL! Ben Whiteman scores on 38.
- 43' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. CJ Hamilton made 116 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' The referee calls foul for Jordan Storey. He receives a Yellow card.
- 50' Both keepers have barely been tested. Blackpool FC and Preston North End FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 55' Jordan Storey needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 60' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 64' Bambo Diaby is ready to make an impact after coming on for Greg Cunningham at the 64 minute mark.
- 68' GOAL! Charlie Patino fires home to make it 2-1!
- 73' Over 73 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 76' The whistle greets Ryan Ledson as he departs to be replaced by Sean Maguire.
- 80' Rhys Williams has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jordan Thorniley on 80 minute.
- 81' Jerry Yates adds to his 2 season tally! Blackpool FC lead 3-1 — and this changes everything.
