Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Bloomfield Road. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Blackpool FC and Tranmere Rovers FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Micky Mellon will be considering his options from the bench.
- 15' A quiet spell here at Bloomfield Road. Tranmere Rovers FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Blackpool FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 24' It’s a booking for Tranmere Rovers FC player. Alex Woodyard gets a Yellow card.
- 29' Tranmere Rovers FC have won 58 goals from 48 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 32' Controversy at the stadium! Ben Heneghan argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 37' Morgan Ferrier has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 37 minutes.
- 42' Alex Woodyard has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Jay Spearing. He replaces Matthew Virtue-Thick on 46 minute.
- 46' James Vaughan makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and Tranmere Rovers FC are in front.
- 51' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 56' 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 David Perkins suffering a number of foals already.
- 58' Magnificent from Kiernan Dewsbury Hall! That is 27 goals in 395 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 60' Tranmere Rovers FC make a change. Calum Woods trudges off to be replaced by Corey Blackett-Taylor on 60 minutes.

- 70' Blackpool FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 75' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Calum MacDonald on 75 minutes.
- 80' Tranmere Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 80.

- 84' Fresh legs for Blackpool FC! Grant Ward comes on to replace Nathan Delfouneso.
- 89' Both keepers have barely been tested. Blackpool FC and Tranmere Rovers FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
