Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Chester FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Alex Woodyard suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Chester 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.
  • 15' Joel Taylor needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' The travelling York City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' It looks surprising Chester FC does not make any changes. Matthew Williams has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' York City FC is showing some good football. However, York City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. David Stockdale made 89 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 50' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 54' York City FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 54.
  • 59' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering York City FC that had 18 games and scored 6 goals.
  • 60' Charlie Caton is replacing Adam Thomas for the Chester FC side.
  • 65' 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.
  • 70' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 75' Chester FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 75.
  • 80' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 85' Supporters expect more eagerness from Callum Howe, as he is very good at scoring at Deva Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 86' Time for substitution for Chester FC. George Glendon is replaced by Iwan Murray.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
