  • 10' Fleetwood Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 14' It’s gonna be a card for Scott Robertson.
  • 19' 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.
  • 24' Fleetwood Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 26' Fleetwood Town FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 28' The referee calls foul for James Brophy. He receives a card.
  • 30' Josh Vela was booked on 30.
  • 31' GOAL! Paul Digby scores on 31.
  • 36' 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.
  • 41' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 46' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 51' It’s high time Mark Bonner made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 66' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 71' 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 Carl Johnston suffering a number of foals already.
  • 73' Cambridge United FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 76' Elias Kachunga is replacing Saikou Janneh for the Cambridge United FC side.
