Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Derby County FC gets underway.
- 5' Thomas Barkhuizen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Derby County FC that had 385 games and scored 452 goals.
- 20' It looks surprising Derby County FC does not make any changes. Joe Wildsmith has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 24' The referee calls foul for Louie Sibley. He receives a card.
- 29' 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.
- 34' The travelling Derby County FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 39' Nathaniel Mendez-Laing puts Derby County FC on the lead.
- 41' Danny Andrew was booked on 41.
- 45' It’s gonna be a card for Paul Digby.
- 50' 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.
- 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ebou Adams, as he is very good at scoring at Abbey Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 60' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 60 minutes.
- 63' Time for substitution for Cambridge United FC. Liam Bennett is replaced by James Brophy.
- 68' 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 Paul Digby suffering a number of foals already.
- 69' The supporters are chanting for Max Bird. He replaces Liam Thompson on 69 minute.
- 72' Another change for Cambridge United FC made on 72 minute. Paul Digby leaves to be changed by Jack Lankester.
- 76' The whistle greets Kane Wilson as he departs to be replaced by Thomas Barkhuizen.
- 81' Derby County FC is showing some good football. However, Derby County FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 86' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Elias Kachunga made 369 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 90' Martyn Waghorn has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nathaniel Mendez-Laing on 90 minute.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Derby County FC players.
