Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Doncaster Rovers FC and Blackpool FC.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' James Husband needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 15' 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.
- 18' Doncaster Rovers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alfie May is hanging Matty Blair on the field on 18 minute.
- 23' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 28' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.

- 38' England international Matthew Virtue-Thick has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 43' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 48' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 53' It looks surprising Blackpool FC does not make any changes. Curtis Tilt has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 58' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 75' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jordan Thompson on 75.
- 75' The supporters are chanting for Armand Gnanduillet. He replaces Ryan Hardie on 75 minute.
- 80' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Doncaster Rovers FC and Blackpool FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 85' Blackpool FC is showing some good football. However, Blackpool FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 86' Matthew Virtue-Thick makes way for Callum Guy at the 86 minute mark. A tactical switch from Blackpool FC.
- The final score is 0-1.
