  • 0' Welcome to Alexandra Stadium that hosts another battle between Crewe Alexandra FC and Accrington Stanley FC.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 15' It looks surprising Crewe Alexandra FC does not make any changes. Chris Porter has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. John Coleman might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 30' The 26-year-old Jonathan Russell has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 3 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 32' The Grenada Omar Beckles breaks the deadlock on 32 minutes. 1-0!
  • 37' Accrington Stanley 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.
  • 42' Cameron Burgess has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' Tom Lowery was booked on 45.
  • 46' Another change for Accrington Stanley FC made on 46 minute. Adam Phillips leaves to be changed by David Morgan.
  • 50' Controversy at the stadium! Harvey Rodgers argues furiously but the Red card stands.
  • 54' Time for substitution for Accrington Stanley FC. Sean McConville is replaced by Tariq Uwakwe.

  • 80' Jonathan Russell has so much to prove this time. He replaces Seamus Conneely on 80 minute.
  • 85' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 90' Accrington Stanley FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Crewe Alexandra FC and Accrington Stanley FC (для сухой ничьи).
