- 0' KICK OFF: Peterborough United FC gets underway.
- 5' Harrison Neal has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 7' The referee calls foul for Jack Ellis. He receives a card.
- 12' The travelling Carlisle United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 17' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 22' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Peterborough United FC that had 383 games and scored 596 goals.
- 23' The whistle greets Taylor Charters as he departs to be replaced by Jordan Gibson.
- 27' Jon Mellish puts Carlisle United FC on the lead.
- 32' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Carlisle United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 33' The referee calls foul for Jon Mellish. He receives a card.
- 38' Peterborough United FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 43' 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.

- 51' The whistle greets Jadel Katongo as he departs to be replaced by David Ajiboye.
- 52' Peterborough United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jonson Clarke-Harris is hanging Ryan De Havilland on the field on 52 minute.
- 57' 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 Harry Lewis suffering a number of foals already.
- 58' GOAL! Jon Mellish scores on 58. Assisted by Sam Lavelle
- 61' Goal! Joel Randall scores his 21 goal in 198 matches.
