- 0' We are underway at St. James Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 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 Ed Francis suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' It looks surprising Exeter City FC does not make any changes. Millenic Alli has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' 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.

- 23' What a strike from Ryan Woods! The score is 1-0.
