Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Pirelli Stadium. Burton Albion FC are looking to make home advantage count against Oxford United FC.
- 1' Matt Taylor doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 6' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 11' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 16' Burton Albion FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 21' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 26' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 31' It’s high time Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 36' Burton Albion FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 38' A meaty challenge results in booking for Michael Bostwick on 38.
- 43' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Nathan Holland makes it 0-2.
- 46' The Burton Albion FC bench stirs into life. Frazer Blake-Tracy is withdrawn and Jonny Smith gets his opportunity.
- 51' Simon Eastwood is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Burton Albion FC tonight.
- 53' Controversy at the stadium! Lucas Akins argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 58' Both keepers have barely been tested. Burton Albion FC and Oxford United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 63' Deji Oshilaja has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 29 cards already picked up this season.
- 68' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Cameron Brannagan.
- 73' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 78' 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 Herbie Kane suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' The deadlock is broken! Charlie Lakin gets on the scoresheet on 80 minutes.
- 84' What a strike from James Henry! The score is 1-3.

- The final score is 1-3.
