  • 7' Goal! Bruno Fernandes scores his 140 goal in 121 matches.
  • 12' It looks like no one’s ball. Manchester United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 13' What a strike from Kobbie Mainoo! The score is 0-2.
  • 18' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 23' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 28' It looks surprising Newport County AFC does not make any changes. Bryn Morris has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 36' What a strike from Bryn Morris! The score is 1-2.
  • 41' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 46' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Newport County AFC that had 22 games and scored 32 goals.
  • 47' Goal! Will Evans scores his 14 goal in 2 matches.
  • 52' It’s high time Erik ten Hag made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 62' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 62 minutes.
  • 67' Omari Forson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 68' Goal! Antony scores his 45 goal in 371 matches.
