Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Scunthorpe United FC get us underway at The Kassam Stadium.
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Funso-King Ojo, as he is very good at scoring at The Kassam Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' Oxford United FC have won 485 goals from 366 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jordan Graham made 358 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' Harrison McGahey has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 140 appearances.
  • 30' Lee Novak needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 35' Oxford United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' Scunthorpe United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
  • 45' Josh Ruffels has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 12 cards already picked up this season.
  • 50' 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 James Perch suffering a number of foals already.
  • 53' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Levi Sutton.
  • 55' Cameron Burgess has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 55.
  • 59' A tactical swap from Oxford United FC — Gavin Whyte on, Luke Garbutt off on 59 minutes.
  • 64' Oxford United FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Scunthorpe United FC's shape.
  • 65' What a moment for Jerome Sinclair! That strike on 65 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 67' Clayton Lewis is replacing Levi Sutton for the Scunthorpe United FC side.
  • 72' The 28-year-old Mark Sykes has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 73' Scunthorpe United FC make a change. Olufela Olomola trudges off to be replaced by George Thomas on 73 minutes.
  • 78' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 80' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jerome Sinclair makes it 2-0.
  • 85' Jordan Graham makes way for Marcus Browne at the 85 minute mark. A tactical switch from Oxford United FC.
  • 90' A stunning finish from George Thomas — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 90' Oxford United FC ring the changes. Jerome Sinclair has done his job and it is now time for Jamie Mackie to step up.
  • Full Time. Oxford United FC beats Scunthorpe United FC
