- 0' Three points are at stake. Derby County FC host Port Vale FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' James Collins doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 10' 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 Liam McCarron suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Derby County FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Port Vale FC backline.
- 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 30' 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.

- 40' Port Vale FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.

- 46' Dennis Politic is ready to make an impact after coming on for Brad Walker at the 46 minute mark.
- 51' Tom Conlon, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 54' The referee shows Derby County FC player a Yellow card on 54.
- 55' Goal! Ellis Harrison scores his 28 goal in 358 matches.

- 58' Controversy at the stadium! James Collins argues furiously but the Red card stands.
- 58' The supporters are chanting for Connor Hall. He replaces Liam McCarron on 58 minute.
- 60' Derby County FC make a change. Lewis Dobbin trudges off to be replaced by William Osula on 60 minutes.
- 65' 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.
- 66' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. James Wilson makes it 1-2.
- 71' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 71 minutes.
- 75' Derby County FC make a change. Richard Stearman trudges off to be replaced by Haydon Roberts on 75 minutes.
- 78' It’s a booking for Port Vale FC player. Daniel Jones gets a Yellow card.
- 82' Louie Sibley gets the nod from Derby County FC. He replaces Max Bird and will look to change the dynamic.
- 86' Ben Garrity picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 87' James Wilson makes way for Ademipo Odubeko at the 87 minute mark. A tactical switch from Port Vale FC.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
