Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Cambridge United FC host Ipswich Town FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' What a moment for Sone Aluko! That strike on 10 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 20' It looks surprising Cambridge United FC does not make any changes. Idris El Mizouni has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' Cambridge United FC is showing some good football. However, Cambridge United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 35' 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 Wes Burns suffering a number of foals already.
  • 36' Against the run of play, Sone Aluko has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 37' A moment of madness from Conor Chaplin on 37 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Ipswich Town FC will be frustrated.
  • 40' The England James Brophy breaks the deadlock on 40 minutes. 1-2!
  • 41' James Brophy does the damage! The net is bulging and Cambridge United FC surge ahead!
  • 46' Cambridge United FC have won 193 goals from 191 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 51' It’s high time Mark Bonner made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 56' George Williams has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
  • 61' The home supporters are growing impatient. Cambridge United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 66' England international George Edmundson has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 69' The whistle greets Sone Aluko as he departs to be replaced by Wes Burns.
  • 74' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 76' Bersant Celina is replacing Conor Chaplin for the Ipswich Town FC side.
  • 78' The Cambridge United FC manager makes a substitution. Shilow Tracey departs to be replaced by Sam Smith.
  • 83' The Ipswich Town FC bench stirs into life. Scott Fraser is withdrawn and Kyle Edwards gets his opportunity.
  • 85' Harvey Knibbs is replacing James Brophy for the Cambridge United FC side.
  • 88' Joe Ironside adds to his 0 season tally! Cambridge United FC lead 3-2 — and this changes everything.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 2-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
