Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Gillingham FC is hosting Southend United FC for another epic battle.
- 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 Mark Byrne suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Stephen Humphrys has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 35' Southend United 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.
