- 0' KICK OFF: Preston North End FC gets underway.
- 5' Freddie Woodman needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alvaro Carreras, as he is very good at scoring at Bloomfield Road with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bambo Diaby made 30 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' 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 Robert Brady suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' The referee shows Preston North End FC player a Yellow card on 27.
- 30' What a strike from Jerry Yates! The score is 1-0.
- 30' Time for substitution for Blackpool FC. Liam Bridcutt is replaced by Sonny Carey.
- 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 38' What an equalizer from Ben Whiteman!
- 43' 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.
- 45' The referee calls foul for Jordan Storey. He receives a Yellow card.
- 50' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 55' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Blackpool FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 60' Blackpool FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
- 64' Another substitution for Preston North End FC to replace Greg Cunningham by Bambo Diaby on 64 minute.
- 68' Blackpool FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Charlie Patino on 68.
- 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Blackpool FC that had 384 games and scored 466 goals.
- 76' The supporters are chanting for Sean Maguire. He replaces Ryan Ledson on 76 minute.
- 80' The whistle greets Jordan Thorniley as he departs to be replaced by Rhys Williams.
- 81' Goal! Jerry Yates scores his 68 goal in 57 matches.
- 83' Preston North End FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ched Evans is hanging Jordan Storey on the field on 83 minute.

- 89' Goal! Callum Connolly scores his 16 goal in 380 matches.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Blackpool FC players.
