Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Abbey Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Cambridge United FC and Burton Albion FC.
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Cambridge United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' Liam Bennett is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Cambridge United FC tonight.
  • 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Neil Harris will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 35' Burton Albion FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' Cambridge United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. Cambridge United FC and Burton Albion FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 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.
  • 55' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 60' Burton Albion FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 65' 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.
  • 70' 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 Ryan Sweeney suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 80' England international Ryan Bennett has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 85' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cambridge United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 90' Michael Morrison has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • The final score is 0-0.
