Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Oxford United FC get us underway at Pirelli Stadium.
- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.

- 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 20' The travelling Oxford United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 24' Against the run of play, Mark Harris has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 29' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 34' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 39' Max Crocombe has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 44' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Owen Dale made 96 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 49' Oxford United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 54' Sam Long is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Oxford United FC so far.
- 57' Mark Harris has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 57 minutes.
- 62' GOAL! Josh Murphy scores on 62. Assisted by Mark Harris
- 67' Burton Albion FC is showing some good football. However, Burton Albion FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 69' What a moment for James Henry! That strike on 69 puts his side firmly in control.
- 74' John Brayford has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 79' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 84' Ryan Sweeney is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Oxford United FC tonight.
- 89' 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 Joe Powell suffering a number of foals already.
- Another three points for Oxford United FC.
