Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Crewe Alexandra FC gets underway.
- 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' Rio Adebisi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 20' 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.
- 25' 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 Jimmy Keohane suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Another substitution for Crewe Alexandra FC to replace Luke Murphy by Ryan Wintle on 30 minute.
