Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Doncaster Rovers FC host Oxford United FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Doncaster Rovers 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.
  • 9' A meaty challenge results in booking for Robert Dickie on 9.
  • 14' The travelling Oxford United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 19' Doncaster Rovers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Oxford United FC backline.
  • 20' Goal! Ben Whiteman scores his 32 goal in 240 matches.
  • 25' England international John Mousinho has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' Andy Butler, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 40' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 45' Alistair Crawford is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
  • 50' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Oxford United FC that had 370 games and scored 494 goals.
  • 60' 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 Gavin Whyte suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' Poor challenge from Josh Ruffels. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 64' What a moment for Gavin Whyte! That strike on 64 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 69' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Karl Robinson will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 73' A change in the Doncaster Rovers FC ranks — Alistair Crawford exits the field as Tommy Rowe enters on 73.
  • 75' Another change for Doncaster Rovers FC made on 75 minute. Shaun Cummings leaves to be changed by Matty Blair.
  • 80' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Andy Butler.
  • 84' Alfie May has so much to prove this time. He replaces James Coppinger on 84 minute.
  • 88' It is a substitution in Oxford United FC team. Jamie Mackie is replaced by Luke Garbutt on 88 minute.
  • 90' What a moment for Alfie May! That strike on 90 puts his side firmly in control.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
