Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Morecambe FC gets underway.
  • 5' Bradford City AFC 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.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' 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 Tom White suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' Brad Halliday needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Paul Huntington made 378 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 31' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jay Benn on 31.
  • 36' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Bradford City AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 41' Ben Tollitt has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 46' Morecambe FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 51' The travelling Bradford City AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 55' Morecambe FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marcus Dackers is hanging Hallam Hope on the field on 55 minute.
  • 60' Bradford City AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
  • 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
  • 70' It looks like no one’s ball. Bradford City AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 71' Bradford City AFC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alexander Pattison is hanging Bobby Pointon on the field on 71 minute.
  • 76' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bradford City AFC that had 114 games and scored 105 goals.
  • 77' That looks like a foul for a card for Neill Byrne.
  • 81' Morecambe FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jordan Slew on 81.
  • 85' Another change for Morecambe FC made on 85 minute. Harvey Macadam leaves to be changed by Paul Lewis.
