- 0' KICK OFF: Scunthorpe United FC gets underway.
- 5' James Perch needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' 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.
- 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 Cameron Burgess suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Scunthorpe United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 20.
- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 29' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ike Ugbo on 29.
- 34' David Templeton has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 39' 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.

- 45' The referee calls foul for Damien McCrory. He receives a Yellow card.
- 50' 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.
- 52' The Scunthorpe United FC manager makes a substitution. Ike Ugbo departs to be replaced by Andy Dales.
- 57' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Matthew Lund made 51 appearances and scored 18 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 62' The travelling Scunthorpe United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 63' James Horsfield has so much to prove this time. He replaces Matthew Lund on 63 minute.
- 68' Another substitution for Burton Albion FC to replace Marvin Sordell by John Brayford on 68 minute.
