Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Oxford United FC get us underway at Jonny-Rocks Stadium.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Oxford United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' Cheltenham Town FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' Cheltenham Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' Cheltenham Town FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Oxford United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 50' Herbie Kane has been relatively quiet despite scoring 27 goals in his last 235 appearances.
  • 55' 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 McNally suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 65' Poor challenge from Conor Thomas. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 68' What composure from Alfie May! The England international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 72' Fresh legs for Oxford United FC! Nathan Holland comes on to replace Matt Taylor.
  • 76' Time for substitution for Cheltenham Town FC. Kyle Joseph is replaced by Kyle Vassell.
  • 81' Oxford United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 85' Lewis Freestone is replacing Taylor Perry for the Cheltenham Town FC side.
  • 88' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Matty Blair on 88 minutes.
  • 89' The Oxford United FC bench stirs into life. Herbie Kane is withdrawn and Billy Bodin gets his opportunity.
  • Oxford United FC will have plenty to reflect on. Cheltenham Town FC were simply the better side today.
