- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Bristol Rovers FC and Luton Town FC is underway.
- 5' Matthew Pearson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' 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 Edward Upson suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 17' Luton Town FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by James Collins on 17.
- 22' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bristol Rovers FC that had 291 games and scored 317 goals.

- 32' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 37' Luton Town FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 44' Luton Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

- 67' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 67 minutes.
- 71' Liam Sercombe was booked on 71.
- 73' Harry Cornick has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kazenga LuaLua on 73 minute.

- 81' Luton Town FC is showing some good football. However, Luton Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 87' Luton Town FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. George Moncur is hanging Elliot Lee on the field on 87 minute.
