Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Doncaster Rovers FC to score. At the same time, Crewe Alexandra FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' 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 Ro-Shaun Williams suffering a number of foals already.
10' Goal! Tommy Rowe scores his 17 goal in 235 matches.
15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Reo Griffiths made 235 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
20' Doncaster Rovers FC is showing some good football. However, Doncaster Rovers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
25' Doncaster Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
30' The travelling Crewe Alexandra FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
35' Crewe Alexandra FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
45' Doncaster Rovers FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
47' GOAL! Josh Martin scores on 47.
52' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Crewe Alexandra FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
57' 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.
60' Tommy Rowe was booked on 60.
65' Supporters expect more eagerness from Matthew Smith, as he is very good at scoring at Keepmoat Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
67' Luke Murphy is replacing Bassala Sambou for the Crewe Alexandra FC side.
71' Time for substitution for Doncaster Rovers FC. Kyle Knoyle is replaced by Ollie Younger.

76' Another substitution for Crewe Alexandra FC to replace Mikael Mandron by Chris Porter on 76 minute.
81' 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.
83' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Chris Long.
84' Another change for Doncaster Rovers FC made on 84 minute. Matthew Smith leaves to be changed by Ethan Galbraith.
89' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Doncaster Rovers FC winning 100% of all matches.
90' Sean Lawton is replacing Lewis Billington for the Crewe Alexandra FC side.
