Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Northampton Town FC gets underway.
  • 2' Northampton Town FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 2.
  • 7' 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 Sam Hoskins suffering a number of foals already.
  • 12' Supporters expect more eagerness from Emmanuel Monthe, as he is very good at scoring at Pride Park Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 14' Max Bird puts Derby County FC on the lead.

  • 22' Goal! Conor Washington scores his 33 goal in 366 matches.
  • 27' 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.
  • 32' GOAL! Max Bird scores on 32. Assisted by Conor Hourihane
  • 37' 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.
  • 42' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Northampton Town FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 46' The Northampton Town FC manager makes a substitution. Mitch Pinnock departs to be replaced by Jordan Willis.
  • 49' GOAL! Nathaniel Mendez-Laing scores on 49. Assisted by Thomas Barkhuizen
  • 54' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Derby County FC that had 385 games and scored 452 goals.

  • 87' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
