- 0' Welcome to Rodney Parade that hosts another battle between Newport County AFC and Barnet FC.
- 5' 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 Adebola Oluwo suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' Barnet FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Newport County AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gary Hooper made 379 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 40' Barnet FC is showing some good football. However, Barnet FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 44' What a strike from Shane McLoughlin! The score is 1-0.
- 49' Newport County 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.
- 54' 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.
- 59' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 64' Harry Pritchard has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 67' Another substitution for Barnet FC to replace Jordan Cropper by Marvin Armstrong on 67 minute.
- 72' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Newport County AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 75' The whistle greets Scott Bennett as he departs to be replaced by Aaron Wildig.
- 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Barnet FC that had 20 games and scored 18 goals.
- 85' Will Evans needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 87' The supporters are chanting for Finley Potter. He replaces Adebola Oluwo on 87 minute.
