Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Tamworth FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Burton Albion FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' The travelling Tamworth FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' Max Crocombe has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' Jordan Cullinane-Liburd is having his name booked by the referee on 25.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Elliot Watt, as he is very good at scoring at Pirelli Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ronan Maher made 65 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' It looks surprising Burton Albion FC does not make any changes. Ben Crompton has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 41' Burton Albion FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 46' Tamworth FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 46.
  • 51' 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 Tom Tonks suffering a number of foals already.
  • 52' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kai Williams on 52.
  • 54' Another change for Burton Albion FC made on 54 minute. Jack Cooper Love leaves to be changed by Ben Whitfield.
  • 56' The referee calls foul for Jack Armer. He receives a card.
  • 61' Burton Albion FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 64' Burton Albion FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 64.
  • 69' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Tamworth FC that had 17 games and scored 2 goals.
  • 74' Another substitution for Burton Albion FC to replace Billy Bodin by Julian Larsson on 74 minute.
  • 79' 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.
  • 80' The Burton Albion FC manager makes a substitution. Jack Armer departs to be replaced by Mason Bennett.
  • 84' The Tamworth FC manager makes a substitution. Tom Tonks departs to be replaced by Ben Milnes.
  • 89' It’s high time Andy Peaks made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 90' Julian Larsson was booked on 90.
  • 90' The Burton Albion FC manager makes a substitution. Tomas Kalinauskas departs to be replaced by Ciaran Gilligan.
