Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Wigan Athletic FC gets underway.
5' Magnificent from Elias Kachunga! That is 19 goals in 369 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
15' Wales international Scott Smith has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
20' The crowd applauds Jensen Weir as he leaves the pitch. Thelo Aasgaard steps in for Wigan Athletic FC.

27' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
32' Cambridge United FC currently sit 24 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
37' The 24-year-old Liam Bennett has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
42' Wigan Athletic FC have won 405 goals from 380 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
46' Fresh legs for Wigan Athletic FC! K'Marni Miller comes on to replace James Carragher.
47' That is a card for Cambridge United FC. Danny Andrew will be fuming at that decision.
52' The travelling Wigan Athletic FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
57' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cambridge United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

63' Cambridge United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Brandon Njoku is hanging Ryan Loft on the field on 63 minute.

73' Scott Smith was booked on 73.
74' Cambridge United FC player sees a card in front of him.
79' Wigan Athletic FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 79.

83' The referee calls foul for K'Marni Miller. He receives a card.
85' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Vicente Reyes on 85 minutes.
