Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Cambridge United FC is hosting Gillingham FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' Gillingham 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.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Paul Digby made 58 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 19' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for David Tutonda.
  • 22' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Max Ehmer.
  • 26' GOAL! Vadaine Oliver scores on 26.
  • 31' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 36' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cambridge United FC that had 191 games and scored 193 goals.
  • 41' Supporters expect more eagerness from Rhys Bennett, as he is very good at scoring at Abbey Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 46' James Brophy has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 56' 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.

  • 63' The supporters are chanting for Charlie Kelman. He replaces Vadaine Oliver on 63 minute.
  • 66' Cambridge United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jack Lankester is hanging James Brophy on the field on 66 minute.
  • 71' It looks like no one’s ball. Gillingham FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 72' Cambridge United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 72.
  • 76' The whistle greets Sam Smith as he departs to be replaced by Jensen Weir.
  • 77' Time for substitution for Cambridge United FC. Paul Digby is replaced by Adam May.
