Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Ipswich Town FC launch into their encounter with Stoke City FC.
  • 5' The travelling Stoke City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' Stoke City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 20' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Michael Rose.
  • 23' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Luke Woolfenden makes it 1-0.
  • 24' Goal! Luke Woolfenden scores his 6 goal in 57 matches.
  • 29' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ben Pearson, as he is very good at scoring at Portman Road with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 34' The whistle greets Chiquinho as he departs to be replaced by Wesley.
  • 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cameron Burgess made 51 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 44' 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.
  • 49' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 51' Vaclav Hladky is having his name booked by the referee on 51.
  • 56' It looks surprising Ipswich Town FC does not make any changes. Sol Sidibe has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 61' 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 Wes Burns suffering a number of foals already.
  • 66' A quiet spell here at Portman Road. Stoke City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 68' The whistle greets Nathan Broadhead as he departs to be replaced by Marcus Harness.
  • 73' George Hirst needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 16 Yellow cards this season.
  • 75' Dwight Gayle gets the nod from Stoke City FC. He replaces Ryan Mmaee and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 77' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Janoi Donacien.
  • 81' Magnificent from Kayden Jackson! That is 32 goals in 358 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 83' Another change for Stoke City FC made on 83 minute. Daniel Johnson leaves to be changed by Sol Sidibe.
  • 88' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 90' The Ipswich Town FC manager makes a substitution. Massimo Luongo departs to be replaced by Jack Taylor.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Sam Morsy.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
