- 0' The ball is rolling at Memorial Stadium. Bristol Rovers FC are looking to make home advantage count against Morecambe FC.
- 5' 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 Jake Taylor suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 12' Against the run of play, Jensen Weir has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 16' Liam Gibson was booked on 16.
- 21' The energy levels are beginning to show. Derek Adams might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 26' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Bristol Rovers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 29' A goal from the England international Ryan Loft! He fires home on 29 to make it 1-1!

- 39' Bristol Rovers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Morecambe FC backline.
