0' And we are off! Leicester City FC vs Ipswich Town FC — let the football do the talking.
5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jack Clarke made 368 appearances and scored 38 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
10' Leicester City FC is showing some good football. However, Leicester City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
20' 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.

28' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jamie Vardy makes it 1-0.
33' Jack Taylor is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Ipswich Town FC so far.
38' 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 Leif Davis suffering a number of foals already.
43' It is a cagey affair so far. Leicester City FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Ipswich Town FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
46' It’s gonna be a card for Kasey McAteer.
51' Leicester City 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.

61' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
