5' Ben Garratt, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
15' Plymouth Argyle FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

28' That is a Yellow card for Plymouth Argyle FC. Kelland Watts will be fuming at that decision.
33' 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.
38' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryan Edwards made 289 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
43' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

53' Sean Clare is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Plymouth Argyle FC so far.
56' Danny Mayor catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 56.

69' Ryan Hardie makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Plymouth Argyle FC are in front.
71' The crowd applauds Niall Ennis as he leaves the pitch. Luke Jephcott steps in for Plymouth Argyle FC.
74' Jerome Opoku has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 74.
78' The whistle greets Sean Clare as he departs to be replaced by Terry Taylor.
80' The Plymouth Argyle FC manager makes a substitution. Ryan Hardie departs to be replaced by Byron Moore.
83' The Plymouth Argyle FC manager makes a substitution. Tyrese Fornah departs to be replaced by Lewis MacLeod.
