Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Blackpool FC and Wrexham AFC has kicked off!
- 5' Blackpool FC is showing some good football. However, Blackpool FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' Wrexham AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' Jay Rodriguez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' 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.
- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 45' 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.
- 50' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oliver Casey made 346 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 60' Wrexham AFC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 61' Goal! James McClean scores his 28 goal in 371 matches.
- 64' GOAL! Oliver Rathbone scores on 64. Assisted by Jay Rodriguez
- 69' 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 Apter suffering a number of foals already.
- 74' Lee Evans needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 79' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Wrexham AFC that had 114 games and scored 92 goals.
- 84' It looks surprising Blackpool FC does not make any changes. Arthur Okonkwo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 89' The travelling Wrexham AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- Full Time. Wrexham AFC beats Blackpool FC
