Match Events

0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Cambridge United FC and Wigan Athletic FC has kicked off!
5' Wigan Athletic FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
10' It looks like no one’s ball. Cambridge United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
15' It looks surprising Cambridge United FC does not make any changes. Toby Sibbick has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
21' Cambridge United FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 21.
26' Cambridge United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 26.
27' That looks like a foul for a card for Dan N'Lundulu.
32' It’s high time Garry Monk made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
36' It is a substitution in Cambridge United FC team. Sullay Kaikai is replaced by Korey Smith on 36 minute.
41' Wigan Athletic 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.
46' Shayne Lavery is replacing Jordan Cousins for the Cambridge United FC side.
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 James Brophy suffering a number of foals already.
56' Maleace Asamoah has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dion Rankine on 56 minute.
61' Jonny Smith needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 4 Yellow cards this season.
66' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
71' Wigan Athletic FC is showing some good football. However, Wigan Athletic FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
