Events

Match Events

0' Welcome to Portman Road that hosts another battle between Ipswich Town FC and Queens Park Rangers FC.
3' George Hirst puts Ipswich Town FC on the lead.
8' It’s high time Kieran McKenna made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
9' What a strike from Jaden Philogene-Bidace! The score is 2-0.
14' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Ipswich Town FC winning 100% of all matches.
19' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
24' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jonathan Varane made 446 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
29' 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 Azor Matusiwa suffering a number of foals already.
34' 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.
39' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 39 minutes.
44' 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.
46' The referee shows Ipswich Town FC player a card on 46.
51' It looks surprising Ipswich Town FC does not make any changes. Daniel Bennie has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
56' Ipswich Town FC is showing some good football. However, Ipswich Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
61' Ipswich Town FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker George Hirst scoring 1 goals.
66' Ipswich Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 66.
71' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Queens Park Rangers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
76' Leif Davis is having his name booked by the referee on 76.
79' The referee calls foul for Paul Smyth. He receives a card.
84' Supporters expect more eagerness from Leif Davis, as he is very good at scoring at Portman Road with 5 goals in the last 5 games.
85' GOAL! Kasey McAteer scores on 85.
90' 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.
Another three points for Ipswich Town FC.
