- 18' What a strike from Jack Marriott! The score is 2-0.
- 23' Blackpool 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.
- 28' 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.
- 33' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 38' 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 James Husband suffering a number of foals already.

- 65' The referee calls foul for Shayne Lavery. He receives a card.

- 71' A meaty challenge results in booking for Josh Vela on 71.
- 76' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Matthew Pennington made 358 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 77' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kenneth Dougall on 77.
- 81' Callum Connolly is replacing Owen Dale for the Blackpool FC side.
- 86' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Fleetwood Town FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
