Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Oxford United FC host Portsmouth FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Oxford United FC and Portsmouth FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Portsmouth FC have won 525 goals from 371 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 20' Michal Helik is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Portsmouth FC so far.
  • 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. John Mousinho will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portsmouth FC that had 371 games and scored 525 goals.
  • 35' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 40' Jamie Cumming has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 42' Sam Long is replacing Greg Leigh for the Oxford United FC side.
  • 45' The referee has no hesitation. Andre Dozzell is booked for Portsmouth FC — card on 45.
  • 47' GOAL! Andre Dozzell fires home to make it 0-1!
  • 52' It’s high time John Mousinho made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 57' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ciaron Brown, as he is very good at scoring at Kassam Stadium with 6 goals in the last 6 games.
  • 62' Portsmouth FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 64' A change in the Portsmouth FC ranks — Colby Bishop exits the field as Mark O'Mahony enters on 64.
  • 66' Ole Romeny is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mark Harris at the 66 minute mark.
  • 67' Cohen Bramall has so much to prove this time. He replaces Callum Lang on 67 minute.
  • 72' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Oxford United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 77' England international Josh Murphy has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 82' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Przemyslaw Placheta made 368 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 84' The Portsmouth FC bench stirs into life. Isaac Hayden is withdrawn and Marlon Pack gets his opportunity.
  • 85' Peter Kioso makes way for Matt Phillips at the 85 minute mark. A tactical switch from Oxford United FC.
  • 87' Mark O'Mahony has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 87.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Portsmouth FC players.
