- 0' KICK OFF: Oxford United FC gets underway.
- 5' 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.
- 10' It looks surprising Oxford United FC does not make any changes. Callum Doyle has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
