- 3' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jerry Yates makes no mistake. 2-0!
- 8' 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.
- 13' Blackpool FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 18' It looks surprising Blackpool FC does not make any changes. Charlie Hughes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 46' Christ Tiehi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Tom Naylor at the 46 minute mark.
- 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
