Events

Match Events

0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Bolton Wanderers FC launch into their encounter with Exeter City FC.
5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Josh Dacres-Cogley is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Exeter City FC.
9' It’s gonna be a card for Pierce Sweeney.
14' Exeter City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 14.
19' George Thomason has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
23' Ricardo Santos is having his name booked by the referee on 23.
28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Reece Cole, as he is very good at scoring at Toughsheet Community Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
33' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Bolton Wanderers FC and Exeter City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
34' Kami Doyle has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 34 minutes.
39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kyle Dempsey made 289 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
44' Exeter City FC is showing some good football. However, Exeter City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
49' A goal from the Ireland international Millenic Alli! He fires home on 49 to make it 0-2!
53' Ilmari Niskanen picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
54' Another change for Bolton Wanderers FC made on 54 minute. John McAtee leaves to be changed by Jordi Osei-Tutu.

66' The referee has no hesitation. George Johnston is booked for Bolton Wanderers FC — card on 66.
69' It’s a booking for Exeter City FC player. Joe Whitworth gets a card.
74' Ilmari Niskanen has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
79' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
81' Exeter City FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 81.
86' Pierce Sweeney has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
87' Exeter City FC make a change. Millenic Alli trudges off to be replaced by Sonny Cox on 87 minutes.
90' That is a card for Bolton Wanderers FC. Josh Dacres-Cogley will be fuming at that decision.
