0' KICK OFF: Shrewsbury Town FC gets underway.
1' Cambridge United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Shayne Lavery on 1.
6' Shrewsbury Town FC is showing some good football. However, Shrewsbury Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
11' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jordan Rossiter, as he is very good at scoring at Abbey Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
16' Cambridge United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
21' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kelland Watts made 339 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
26' It’s high time Garry Monk made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
30' What a strike from Shayne Lavery! The score is 2-0.
35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shrewsbury Town FC that had 329 games and scored 385 goals.
45' 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.
46' What a strike from Dan N'Lundulu! The score is 3-0.
51' 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 Tom Bloxham suffering a number of foals already.
53' What a strike from Elias Kachunga! The score is 4-0.
58' Shrewsbury Town 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.
