Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Oxford United FC kicks off things out of here…
- 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 Mark Harris suffering a number of foals already.
- 6' GOAL! Josh Murphy scores on 6. Assisted by Billy Bodin
- 11' It’s high time Jon Brady made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 16' Oxford United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 16.
- 21' 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.
- 26' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 31' Northampton Town FC is showing some good football. However, Northampton Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 40' Mitch Pinnock has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 55' Liam Moore needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 60' 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.
