Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Cambridge United FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 4' What a strike from Dan N'Lundulu! The score is 1-0.
  • 8' Kelechi Nwakali is replacing Max Watters for the Barnsley FC side.
  • 13' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 16' It’s gonna be a card for Stephen Humphrys.
  • 17' Goal! Stephen Humphrys scores his 53 goal in 51 matches.
  • 17' The referee shows Barnsley FC player a card on 17.
  • 22' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Barnsley FC that had 385 games and scored 496 goals.
  • 27' Kelechi Nwakali needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 32' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 37' 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.
  • 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brandon Njoku made 191 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 47' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 49' It’s a booking for Cambridge United FC player. Brandon Njoku gets a card.
  • 51' The referee calls foul for Jonathan Russell. He receives a card.
  • 56' Cambridge United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 61' 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 Jubril Okedina suffering a number of foals already.
  • 66' Time for substitution for Cambridge United FC. Brandon Njoku is replaced by Ryan Loft.
  • 71' It’s a booking for Cambridge United FC player. Liam Bennett gets a card.
  • 75' That looks like a foul for a card for Ryan Loft.
  • 78' Shayne Lavery has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dan N'Lundulu on 78 minute.
  • 83' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 83 minutes.
  • 88' Ben Killip has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 90' The Cambridge United FC manager makes a substitution. James Brophy departs to be replaced by Kelland Watts.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
