Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Chelsea FC is hosting Morecambe FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' The travelling Morecambe FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Morecambe FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' Max Taylor needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Pedro Neto, as he is very good at scoring at Stamford Bridge with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Reece James made 380 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 39' Tosin Adarabioyo puts Chelsea FC on the lead.
  • 44' 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.

  • 50' What a strike from Christopher Nkunku! The score is 2-0.
  • 53' Jordan Slew is replacing Marcus Dackers for the Morecambe FC side.
  • 58' 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.
  • 63' 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 Marcus Dackers suffering a number of foals already.
  • 68' The supporters are chanting for Adam Lewis. He replaces Gwion Edwards on 68 minute.
  • 70' Tosin Adarabioyo with the second goal in the match!
  • 75' Goal! Joao Felix scores his 75 goal in 467 matches.
