Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Portman Road. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Matthew Penney, as he is very good at scoring at Portman Road with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 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.
- 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 20' Ipswich Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' 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.
- 26' Kelland Watts is having his name booked by the referee on 26.
- 31' 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.
