Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Exeter City FC is hosting Stockport County FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' 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.
  • 9' Malik Mothersille puts Stockport County FC on the lead.
  • 14' Stockport County FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 16' Tayo Edun was booked on 16.
  • 21' Danny Andrew has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 26' 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.
  • 29' What a strike from Josh Stokes! The score is 0-2.
  • 34' It looks like no one’s ball. Stockport County FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' GOAL! Reece Cole scores on 35.
  • 40' It’s high time Dave Challinor made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 46' Odin Bailey has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tayo Edun on 46 minute.
  • 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ilmari Niskanen made 51 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 56' The whistle greets Kevin McDonald as he departs to be replaced by Ethan Brierley.
  • 60' The whistle greets Adama Sidibeh as he departs to be replaced by Isaac Olaofe.
  • 62' Timur Tuterov is replacing Carlos Mendes Gomes for the Exeter City FC side.
  • 67' 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 Carlos Mendes Gomes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' What a strike from Timur Tuterov! The score is 2-2.
  • 71' Another substitution for Stockport County FC to replace Josh Stokes by Lewis Fiorini on 71 minute.

  • 77' Stockport County FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Odin Bailey on 77.
  • 82' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Exeter City FC that had 198 games and scored 203 goals.
  • 87' Exeter City 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.
  • 90' Lewis Bate is replacing Jack Diamond for the Stockport County FC side.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-3.
