- 0' What a night it is going to be! Burnley FC welcome Portsmouth FC for this crunch clash at Turf Moor.
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' Josh Cullen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 50 Yellow cards this season.
- 15' 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 Regan Poole suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Burnley FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 34' That is a card for Burnley FC. Josh Cullen will be fuming at that decision.

- 42' A goal from the England international Callum Lang! He fires home on 42 to make it 0-1!
- 47' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Paddy Lane made 289 appearances and scored 21 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 48' A meaty challenge results in booking for Josh Murphy on 48.
- 53' The energy levels are beginning to show. John Mousinho might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 58' Zak Swanson, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 60' Andre Dozzell gets the nod from Portsmouth FC. He replaces Freddie Potts and will look to change the dynamic.
- 61' It is a substitution in Burnley FC team. Jaidon Anthony is replaced by Jeremy Sarmiento on 61 minute.
- 63' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jeremy Sarmiento makes no mistake. 1-1!
- 68' It looks surprising Portsmouth FC does not make any changes. Sam Silvera has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
