Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Ipswich Town FC to score. At the same time, AFC Bournemouth does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Ipswich Town FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against AFC Bournemouth's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 10' The 27-year-old Marcus Tavernier has been sensational this season — 6 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 12' Liam Delap is having his name booked by the referee on 12.
- 16' That looks like a foul for a card for Samuel Szmodics.
- 21' Goal! Conor Chaplin scores his 80 goal in 382 matches.
- 26' Ipswich Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 26.
- 30' Iraola was booked on 30.
- 35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Ipswich Town FC and AFC Bournemouth are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 40' 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.
- 45' AFC Bournemouth are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 50' 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.
- 55' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 60' It’s high time Iraola made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 63' Dango Ouattara is replacing Justin Kluivert for the AFC Bournemouth side.
- 68' It looks like no one’s ball. Ipswich Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 73' James Hill has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 74' The whistle greets Marcus Tavernier as he departs to be replaced by David Brooks.
- 79' 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 Ryan Christie suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' The supporters are chanting for Jack Clarke. He replaces Samuel Szmodics on 80 minute.
- 81' The crowd applauds Liam Delap as he leaves the pitch. Ali Al-Hamadi steps in for Ipswich Town FC.

- 87' The deadlock is broken! Enes Unal gets on the scoresheet on 87 minutes.
- 90' A moment of madness from David Brooks on 90 minutes earns him a card. AFC Bournemouth will be frustrated.
- 90' A change in the Ipswich Town FC ranks — Jack Taylor exits the field as Jens Cajuste enters on 90.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
