- 0' We are underway at University of Bolton Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 2' Bolton Wanderers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 2.
- 7' 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 Zac Williams suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' The referee shows Crewe Alexandra FC player a Yellow card on 10.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Crewe Alexandra FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 35' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Madger Gomes.
- 40' Rio Adebisi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 54' Goal! Amadou Bakayoko scores his 32 goal in 374 matches.
