- 5' Louie Sibley puts Derby County FC on the lead.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Port Vale FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 15' Alexander Mighten has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Port Vale FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' 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.

- 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
