Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Kassam Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Stevenage FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' Stevenage FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' Oxford United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Des Buckingham will be considering his options from the bench.
- 30' The travelling Stevenage FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 32' GOAL! Sam Long scores on 32.
- 37' England international Josh Murphy has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Fin Stevens made 349 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 47' Over 47 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 52' Both keepers have barely been tested. Oxford United FC and Stevenage FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 57' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 57 minutes.
- 59' Goal! Cameron Brannagan scores his 53 goal in 372 matches.
- 64' Craig MacGillivray needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 69' Ruben Rodrigues has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 74' Greg Leigh has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 79' The 30-year-old Kane Smith has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 84' Stevenage FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 89' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
