Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Oxford United FC gets underway.
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering West Bromwich Albion FC that had 381 games and scored 490 goals.
- 15' 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.
- 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Oxford United FC and West Bromwich Albion FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 25' Karlan Grant has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 29' A goal from the England international Karlan Grant! He fires home on 29 to make it 0-1!
- 34' The travelling West Bromwich Albion FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 39' 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 Alex Mowatt suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 49' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 54' Semi Ajayi has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
- 59' West Bromwich Albion FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 63' Ben Nelson picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 64' Dane Scarlett is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mark Harris at the 64 minute mark.
- 66' That is a card for West Bromwich Albion FC. Alex Mowatt will be fuming at that decision.
- 70' The supporters are chanting for John Swift. He replaces Grady Diangana on 70 minute.
- 74' The crowd applauds Siriki Dembele as he leaves the pitch. Malcolm Ebiowei steps in for Oxford United FC.
- 76' Louie Sibley was booked on 76.
- 81' West Bromwich Albion FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 83' The crowd applauds Uros Racic as he leaves the pitch. Jayson Molumby steps in for West Bromwich Albion FC.
- 84' The whistle greets Idris El Mizouni as he departs to be replaced by Owen Dale.
- 89' 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.
- 90' Malcolm Ebiowei picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
