- 5' Cameron Brannagan has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' A quiet spell here at LNER Stadium. Oxford United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 15' Carl Rushworth is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Oxford United FC tonight.
- 20' 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.
- 23' The Ireland Daniel Mandroiu breaks the deadlock on 23 minutes. 1-0!
- 28' It looks like no one’s ball. Oxford United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 33' Marcus Browne is having his name booked by the referee on 33.
- 38' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 43' With 0 assists to his name this season, Lewis Montsma is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Oxford United FC.
- 48' Stuart Findlay has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 53' Regan Poole, a Wales , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

- 68' 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 Sean Roughan suffering a number of foals already.
- 73' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 77' The supporters are chanting for Yanic Wildschut. He replaces Marcus Browne on 77 minute.
