Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Chester FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Will Smith is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Chester FC tonight.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' The travelling York City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' Matthew Williams, a , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Chester FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 35' York City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 40' Alex Woodyard has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 383 appearances.
  • 45' George Glendon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 50' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 54' Lenell John-Lewis has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 54.
  • 59' It looks like no one’s ball. York City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 60' Charlie Caton is replacing Adam Thomas for the Chester FC side.
  • 65' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 70' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 75' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 80' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Liam Edwards made 12 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 86' It is a substitution in Chester FC team. George Glendon is replaced by Iwan Murray on 86 minute.
  • 0-0 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
