Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Mornflake Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Crewe Alexandra FC and Ipswich Town FC.
  • 5' Ipswich Town FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 14' A meaty challenge results in booking for James Norwood on 14.
  • 19' The 36-year-old Luke Murphy has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 24' It looks surprising Ipswich Town FC does not make any changes. Janoi Donacien has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 29' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Ipswich Town FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 33' Tyreeq Bakinson is having his name booked by the referee on 33.
  • 38' Joe Pigott has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' Dominic Thompson catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 40.
  • 45' 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.
  • 47' GOAL! Conor Chaplin fires home to make it 0-1!
  • 52' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 53' Another change for Crewe Alexandra FC made on 53 minute. Ryan Alebiosu leaves to be changed by Oliver Finney.
  • 58' Dave Richards has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 96 appearances.
  • 60' Tom Lowery is having his name booked by the referee on 60.
  • 63' The crowd applauds Luke Murphy as he leaves the pitch. Regan Griffiths steps in for Crewe Alexandra FC.
  • 65' The referee has no hesitation. Regan Griffiths is booked for Crewe Alexandra FC — Yellow card on 65.
  • 69' Fresh legs for Ipswich Town FC! Idris El Mizouni comes on to replace Kane Vincent-Young.
  • 74' 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 Cameron Burgess suffering a number of foals already.
  • 79' Crewe Alexandra FC is showing some good football. However, Crewe Alexandra FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 85' Fresh legs for Crewe Alexandra FC! Bassala Sambou comes on to replace Zac Williams.
  • 86' GOAL! Tom Lowery fires home to make it 1-1!
  • 90' Crewe Alexandra FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 90' Fresh legs for Ipswich Town FC! Macauley Bonne comes on to replace Conor Chaplin.
  • The final score is 1-1.
