Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Bristol Rovers FC get us underway at Memorial Stadium.
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' Scotland international Alistair Crawford has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 15' Luke Murphy adds to his 0 season tally! Bolton Wanderers FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Anssi Jaakkola made 379 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Bristol Rovers FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 35' Adam Chicksen has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 40' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 45' Edward Upson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 25 cards already picked up this season.
  • 50' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Bristol Rovers FC and Bolton Wanderers FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.

  • 61' Luke Murphy is having his name booked by the referee on 61.
  • 66' 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 Alex Rodman suffering a number of foals already.
  • 68' Daryl Murphy does the damage! The net is bulging and Bolton Wanderers FC surge ahead!
  • 73' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 77' The Bristol Rovers FC manager makes a substitution. Abumere Ogogo departs to be replaced by Kyle Bennett.
