Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Burnley FC and Oxford United FC get this one started.

  • 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 20' 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 CJ Egan-Riley suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' England international Josh Laurent has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

  • 61' Another change for Oxford United FC made on 61 minute. Tom Bradshaw leaves to be changed by Mark Harris.

  • 70' That looks like a foul for a card for Cameron Brannagan.
  • 70' Jeremy Sarmiento has so much to prove this time. He replaces Hannibal Mejbri on 70 minute.
  • 75' Burnley FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Oxford United FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
