Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Indian Arrows and NEROCA FC has kicked off!
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ricky John Shabong made 228 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Shanmugam Venkatesh will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 15' 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.
  • 16' NEROCA FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 16.
  • 21' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 26' Over 26 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 29' A stunning finish from Varney Kallon — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 30' What composure from Varney Kallon! The Liberia international strokes it home. 0-2.
  • 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Khanngam Horam, as he is very good at scoring at Kalyani Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 40' NEROCA FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 45' Nathaniel Garcia is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Indian Arrows tonight.
  • 50' NEROCA FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 50.
  • 55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 60' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 66' NEROCA FC make a change. Khanngam Horam trudges off to be replaced by Khaiminthang Lhungdim on 66 minutes.
  • 90' A tactical swap from NEROCA FC — Golmei Rongmei on, Bishorjit Singh off on 90 minutes.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for NEROCA FC players.
