Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Brunton Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The referee calls foul for Ben Barclay. He receives a card.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Sam Lavelle, as he is very good at scoring at Brunton Park with 4 goals in the last 4 games.
  • 14' That looks like a foul for a card for Joe Garner.
  • 19' It looks like no one’s ball. Carlisle United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 24' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 24 minutes.
  • 29' Bristol Rovers FC is showing some good football. However, Bristol Rovers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 34' The travelling Bristol Rovers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 38' Carlisle United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Sam Lavelle on 38.
  • 42' Sean Maguire is replacing Paul Huntington for the Carlisle United FC side.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a card for George Friend.
  • 50' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 51' It’s gonna be a card for Aaron Collins.
  • 56' 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.
  • 61' 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 Luke Plange suffering a number of foals already.
  • 66' Ryan Woods has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 67' John Marquis is replacing Chris Martin for the Bristol Rovers FC side.
  • 68' The supporters are chanting for Terry Ablade. He replaces Joe Garner on 68 minute.
  • 73' Bristol Rovers FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 73.
  • 76' The supporters are chanting for Joshua Grant. He replaces Jack Hunt on 76 minute.
  • 81' Tristan Crama needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 84' It is a substitution in Bristol Rovers FC team. Aaron Collins is replaced by Jevani Brown on 84 minute.
  • 89' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Carlisle United FC that had 57 games and scored 53 goals.
  • 90' Jordan Gibson was booked on 90.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
