Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Stoke City FC get us underway at Portman Road.
  • 5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 10' It looks surprising Stoke City FC does not make any changes. Conor Chaplin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' It is a cagey affair so far. Ipswich Town FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Stoke City FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 20' That is a Yellow card for Stoke City FC. Michael Rose will be fuming at that decision.
  • 23' Luke Woolfenden has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 23 minutes.
  • 24' What a moment for Luke Woolfenden! That strike on 24 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 29' It looks like no one’s ball. Stoke City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 34' The Stoke City FC bench stirs into life. Chiquinho is withdrawn and Wesley gets his opportunity.
  • 39' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 44' Stoke City FC have won 400 goals from 380 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 49' Both keepers have barely been tested. Ipswich Town FC and Stoke City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 51' Vaclav Hladky is having his name booked by the referee on 51.
  • 56' 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.
  • 61' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 66' Sam Morsy needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 85 Yellow cards this season.
  • 68' Time for substitution for Ipswich Town FC. Nathan Broadhead is replaced by Marcus Harness.
  • 73' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 73 minutes.
  • 75' It is a substitution in Stoke City FC team. Ryan Mmaee is replaced by Dwight Gayle on 75 minute.
  • 77' Controversy at the stadium! Janoi Donacien argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 81' Assisted by Wes Burns with the perfectly-timed delivery and Kayden Jackson makes no mistake. 3-0!
  • 83' It is a substitution in Stoke City FC team. Daniel Johnson is replaced by Sol Sidibe on 83 minute.
  • 88' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daniel Johnson made 378 appearances and scored 38 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 90' Jack Taylor has so much to prove this time. He replaces Massimo Luongo on 90 minute.
  • 90' Ipswich Town FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
