  • 5' England international Harrison Dunk has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 10' Shilow Tracey has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 6 appearances.
  • 13' The referee shows Bolton Wanderers FC player a Yellow card on 13.
  • 16' GOAL! Shilow Tracey scores on 16.
  • 17' Jack Iredale catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 17.
  • 22' It looks surprising Bolton Wanderers FC does not make any changes. Paul Digby has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 27' Cambridge United FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 29' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Antoni Sarcevic on 29 minutes.
  • 34' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 38' Paul Digby catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 38.
  • 43' 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.
  • 48' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 53' The home supporters are growing impatient. Cambridge United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 54' The referee calls foul for Wes Hoolahan. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 59' Cambridge United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 64' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 65' Elias Kachunga has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gethin Jones on 65 minute.
  • 70' The Cambridge United FC manager makes a substitution. Joe Ironside departs to be replaced by Sam Smith.

  • 81' The Bolton Wanderers FC manager makes a substitution. Jordan Williams departs to be replaced by Nathan Delfouneso.
  • 86' 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 Nathan Delfouneso suffering a number of foals already.
  • 88' The referee shows Bolton Wanderers FC player a Yellow card on 88.
  • 90' The Cambridge United FC manager makes a substitution. James Brophy departs to be replaced by Harrison Dunk.
