Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Kassam Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Oxford United FC and Cambridge United FC.
5' The travelling Cambridge United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
15' Cambridge United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
25' It looks surprising Oxford United FC does not make any changes. Liam Bennett has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
30' Goal! Jordan Cousins scores his 3 goal in 378 matches.
35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. James Brophy made 150 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Oxford United FC that had 366 games and scored 485 goals.
44' It’s gonna be a card for Ciaron Brown.
49' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cambridge United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
53' George Thomas is having his name booked by the referee on 53.
54' What an equalizer from Tyler Goodrham!
59' 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 Jack Stevens suffering a number of foals already.
64' Elliott Moore has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
65' Another change for Oxford United FC made on 65 minute. Marcus McGuane leaves to be changed by Josh McEachran.
70' It looks like no one’s ball. Oxford United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
72' It’s a booking for Oxford United FC player. Cameron Brannagan gets a card.
72' Time for substitution for Cambridge United FC. Sullay Kaikai is replaced by John-Kymani Gordon.
74' The referee calls foul for Adam May. He receives a card.
79' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
80' It is a substitution in Oxford United FC team. Mark Harris is replaced by James Henry on 80 minute.
85' 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.
90' The referee calls foul for Jack Stevens. He receives a card.
90' The supporters are chanting for Ryan Bennett. He replaces Adam May on 90 minute.
With this win, Oxford United FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
