Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Ipswich Town FC and Chelsea FC is underway.
  • 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 Malo Gusto suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' 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.

  • 42' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
