Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Northern Commercials Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Bradford City AFC and Gillingham FC.
- 5' Bradford City AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' Kelvin Mellor makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Bradford City AFC are in front.
- 15' Sean Scannell has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 125 appearances.
- 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' 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 Tomas Holy suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' Barry Fuller has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' Bradley Garmston gets the nod from Gillingham FC. He replaces Barry Fuller and will look to change the dynamic.
- 45' Bradford City AFC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 50' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 53' Against the run of play, Brandon Hanlan has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 58' With 0 assists to his name this season, Billy Clarke is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Gillingham FC.
- 61' Poor challenge from Billy Clarke. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 65' Fresh legs for Gillingham FC! Josh Rees comes on to replace Leonardo Lopes.
- 70' The travelling Gillingham FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 75' Gillingham FC is showing some good football. However, Gillingham FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 76' Eoin Doyle has so much to prove this time. He replaces George Miller on 76 minute.
- 80' Bradford City AFC ring the changes. Billy Clarke has done his job and it is now time for Jacob Butterfield to step up.
- 83' A tactical swap from Gillingham FC — Tom Eaves on, Tahvon Campbell off on 83 minutes.
- 88' Eoin Doyle catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 88.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
