Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Burton Albion FC vs Shrewsbury Town FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' 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 Taylor Perry suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Max Crocombe is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Burton Albion FC tonight.
  • 16' Assisted by Joe Powell with the perfectly-timed delivery and Bez Lubala makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 21' Shrewsbury Town FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 26' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mal Benning, as he is very good at scoring at Pirelli Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 31' A quiet spell here at Pirelli Stadium. Burton Albion FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 36' Kwadwo Baah has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 19 cards already picked up this season.
  • 41' The energy levels are beginning to show. Matthew Taylor might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 46' The Shrewsbury Town FC bench stirs into life. Max Mata is withdrawn and Ryan Bowman gets his opportunity.
  • 51' The 27-year-old Tunmise Sobowale has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 52' Fresh legs for Burton Albion FC! Jake Caprice comes on to replace Ryan Sweeney.
  • 57' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Burton Albion FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 62' John Brayford needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 20 Yellow cards this season.
  • 67' Adedeji Oshilaja has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 67.
  • 70' The whistle greets Elliott Bennett as he departs to be replaced by Tom Bayliss.
  • 71' The Burton Albion FC manager makes a substitution. Kwadwo Baah departs to be replaced by Mason Bennett.
  • 76' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 81' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 83' Poor challenge from Nohan Kenneh. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 84' That looks like a foul for a card for Max Crocombe.
  • 86' The Burton Albion FC manager makes a substitution. Bobby Kamwa departs to be replaced by Cole Stockton.
  • Shrewsbury Town FC will have plenty to reflect on. Burton Albion FC were simply the better side today.
