Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Portman Road. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Ipswich Town FC and Bristol City FC.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Omari Hutchinson made 414 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kieran McKenna might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 15' Sam Morsy has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' The travelling Bristol City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' Ipswich Town FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Bristol City FC backline.
  • 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 35' Harry Cornick has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 40' Ipswich Town 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.
  • 45' Mark Sykes is a natural midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for Ipswich Town FC tonight.
  • 50' Bristol City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 54' The deadlock is broken! Anis Mehmeti gets on the scoresheet on 54 minutes.
  • 59' Over 59 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 60' The Ipswich Town FC manager makes a substitution. Massimo Luongo departs to be replaced by Jack Taylor.
  • 61' Wes Burns has so much to prove this time. He replaces Omari Hutchinson on 61 minute.
  • 62' Goal! Ali Al-Hamadi scores his 10 goal in 364 matches.
  • 62' A tactical swap from Bristol City FC — Mark Sykes on, Harry Cornick off on 62 minutes.
  • 67' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 67 minutes.
  • 72' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Ipswich Town FC and Bristol City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 75' Harry Clarke is ready to make an impact after coming on for Axel Tuanzebe at the 75 minute mark.
  • 76' Bristol City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tommy Conway is hanging Nahki Wells on the field on 76 minute.
  • 78' What a moment for Tommy Conway! That strike on 78 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 79' The referee calls foul for Ross McCrorie. He receives a card.
  • 80' A stunning finish from Conor Chaplin — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 85' Max O'Leary has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 85.
  • 89' Leif Davis has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 89 minutes.
  • 90' Ali Al-Hamadi is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • Ipswich Town FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
