Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Port Vale FC gets underway.
- 5' Port Vale FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Burton Albion FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' Ben Garratt has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 96 appearances.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 30' Victor Adeboyejo is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Port Vale FC tonight.
- 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 40' Jonny Smith needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Red cards this season.
- 45' The 29-year-old Jack Stevens has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 46' The crowd applauds David Worrall as he leaves the pitch. Gavin Massey steps in for Port Vale FC.
- 49' Ben Garrity makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Port Vale FC are in front.
- 54' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 55' Burton Albion FC ring the changes. Victor Adeboyejo has done his job and it is now time for Louis Moult to step up.
- 60' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 65' 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.
- 70' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Burton Albion FC and Port Vale FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 75' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 80' 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 David Worrall suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' Burton Albion FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 90' Supporters expect more eagerness from Malvind Benning, as he is very good at scoring at Pirelli Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Port Vale FC to claim maximum points.
