Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Cambridge United FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' That looks like a foul for a card for James Brophy.
  • 12' Ruben Rodrigues was booked on 12.
  • 15' Jack Lankester puts Cambridge United FC on the lead.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Oxford United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Oxford United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 28' What a strike from Gassan Ahadme! The score is 2-0.
  • 33' The travelling Oxford United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 38' 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 George Thomas suffering a number of foals already.
  • 43' Cambridge United FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 44' Saikou Janneh is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 49' Oxford 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.
  • 54' 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.
  • 59' Cambridge United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 64' Oxford United FC is showing some good football. However, Oxford 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.
  • 69' 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.
  • 71' The whistle greets Saikou Janneh as he departs to be replaced by Jordan Cousins.
  • 72' Billy Bodin is replacing Marcus Browne for the Oxford United FC side.
  • 77' Cambridge United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 77.
  • 80' Another change for Oxford United FC made on 80 minute. Ciaron Brown leaves to be changed by Fin Stevens.
  • 82' Another change for Cambridge United FC made on 82 minute. Danny Andrew leaves to be changed by Harrison Dunk.
  • 83' Another change for Cambridge United FC made on 83 minute. Gassan Ahadme leaves to be changed by Elias Kachunga.
  • 88' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 88 minutes.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Elias Kachunga. He receives a card.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
