Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Milton Keynes Dons FC get us underway at Portman Road Stadium.
  • 2' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Armando Dobra.
  • 7' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 12' Andy Fisher has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 17' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Russell Martin will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 22' 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.
  • 27' Ipswich Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 32' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 32 minutes.
  • 37' 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 Daniel Harvie suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' Zak Jules has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 47' Andre Dozzell is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Milton Keynes Dons FC so far.

  • 57' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 61' The supporters are chanting for Matthew Sorinola. He replaces Daniel Harvie on 61 minute.
  • 62' Fresh legs for Ipswich Town FC! Freddie Sears comes on to replace Armando Dobra.
  • 67' Milton Keynes Dons FC have won 240 goals from 177 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 70' The Ipswich Town FC manager makes a substitution. Gwion Edwards departs to be replaced by Troy Parrott.
  • 71' A change in the Milton Keynes Dons FC ranks — Josh McEachran exits the field as David Kasumu enters on 71.
  • 76' Milton Keynes Dons FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 76.
  • 80' The referee shows Ipswich Town FC player a Yellow card on 80.
  • 85' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
