Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Sixfields Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Northampton Town FC that had 191 games and scored 158 goals.
- 10' 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 Sam Hoskins suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Northampton Town FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Northampton Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tyler Roberts made 358 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' It looks surprising Northampton Town FC does not make any changes. TJ Eyoma has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 40' It’s high time Garry Monk made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 45' Cambridge United FC is showing some good football. However, Cambridge United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 50' Supporters expect more eagerness from Samy Chouchane, as he is very good at scoring at Sixfields Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 60' Northampton Town FC 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.
- 65' 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.
- 70' Northampton Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 75' The travelling Cambridge United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 80' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 85' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 90' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 90 minutes.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
