Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Leicester City FC kicks off things out of here…
5' Leicester City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
10' 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 Liam Delap suffering a number of foals already.
15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Leicester City FC and Ipswich Town FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
20' Wilfred Ndidi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
25' Jacob Greaves has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
28' Magnificent from Jamie Vardy! That is 119 goals in 358 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
33' 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.
38' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leicester City FC that had 358 games and scored 514 goals.
46' Kasey McAteer picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
51' 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.
56' The 29-year-old Conor Chaplin has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
61' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
64' A tactical swap from Leicester City FC — Jeremy Monga on, Jordan Ayew off on 64 minutes.
69' Against the run of play, Kasey McAteer has scored! This game has turned on its head.
71' Another substitution for Ipswich Town FC to replace Jens Cajuste by Jack Taylor on 71 minute.
76' Ipswich Town FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
80' The whistle greets Kasey McAteer as he departs to be replaced by Jake Evans.
85' James Justin needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
88' Oliver Skipp gets the nod from Leicester City FC. He replaces Wilfred Ndidi and will look to change the dynamic.
89' Another substitution for Ipswich Town FC to replace Sam Morsy by Massimo Luongo on 89 minute.
What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Leicester City FC 2-0 Ipswich Town FC.
