Events

Match Events

  • 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.
  • 20' The travelling Crewe Alexandra FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Bolton Wanderers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 29' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Chris Long.
  • 34' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 34 minutes.
  • 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.
  • 45' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 50' GOAL! Josh Sheehan scores on 50.
  • 54' Goal! Amadou Bakayoko scores his 32 goal in 374 matches.
  • 59' Crewe Alexandra FC is showing some good football. However, Crewe Alexandra FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 64' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Crewe Alexandra FC that had 96 games and scored 102 goals.
  • 69' It’s high time David Artell made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 70' Another substitution for Crewe Alexandra FC to replace Chris Long by Scott Kashket on 70 minute.
