- 15' 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.
- 20' 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.

- 26' GOAL! Vadaine Oliver scores on 26.
- 31' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
