Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Oxford United FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Bradford City AFC is showing some good football. However, Bradford City AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 15' The travelling Bradford City AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' 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 Eoin Doyle suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gavin Whyte, as he is very good at scoring at The Kassam Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

- 41' David Ball was booked on 41.
- 46' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cameron Brannagan made 366 appearances and scored 52 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 71' Jamie Mackie is replacing James Henry for the Oxford United FC side.
