Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Mansfield Town FC launch into their encounter with Reading FC.
  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Mansfield Town FC and Reading FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joel Pereira made 69 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 20' Mansfield Town FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 25' Mansfield Town FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Reading FC backline.
  • 30' Tyler Bindon has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 394 appearances.
  • 35' GOAL! Jayden Wareham scores on 35. Assisted by Kelvin Ehibhationhan
  • 40' Mansfield Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
  • 45' Lewis Wing has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 49' What composure from George Williams! The England international strokes it home. 1-1.
  • 54' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 57' Sensational shot from Lewis Wing. Reading FC is back in the lead.
  • 62' Keanu Baccus does the damage! The net is bulging and Mansfield Town FC surge ahead!
  • 64' Baily Cargill makes way for Hiram Boateng at the 64 minute mark. A tactical switch from Mansfield Town FC.
  • 66' That is a card for Reading FC. Andre Garcia will be fuming at that decision.
  • 71' A tactical swap from Mansfield Town FC — Dom Dwyer on, Aaron Lewis off on 71 minutes.
  • 74' Jayden Wareham makes no mistake. The score reads 2-3 and Reading FC are in front.
  • 76' Billy Bodin is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kelvin Ehibhationhan at the 76 minute mark.
  • 81' Andy Yiadom, a Ghana defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 82' The referee calls foul for Keanu Baccus. He receives a card.
  • 87' 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 Adrian Akande suffering a number of foals already.
  • 88' Time for substitution for Reading FC. Chem Campbell is replaced by Adrian Akande.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 1-5 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
