Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Gillingham FC gets underway.
- 5' Burton Albion 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.
- 10' 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 Vadaine Oliver suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Gillingham FC is showing some good football. However, Gillingham FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' Gillingham FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' Robbie McKenzie has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 50 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' 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.
- 33' What a strike from Hayden Carter! The score is 0-1.
- 38' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.
- 43' It looks like no one’s ball. Gillingham FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 46' Time for substitution for Gillingham FC. Declan Drysdale is replaced by Jack Tucker.
- 51' Joe Powell needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 60' The Gillingham FC manager makes a substitution. Vadaine Oliver departs to be replaced by Alexander MacDonald.
- 65' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luke Varney made 145 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 74' Another substitution for Burton Albion FC to replace Joe Powell by Stephen Quinn on 74 minute.
- 79' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Burton Albion FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 84' The whistle greets Robbie McKenzie as he departs to be replaced by Mattew Willock.
- 85' Time for substitution for Burton Albion FC. Kane Hemmings is replaced by Luke Varney.
- 90' It’s high time Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Gillingham FC.
