Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Peterborough United FC gets underway.
- 5' Joe Ward has been relatively quiet despite scoring 26 goals in his last 387 appearances.
- 10' It’s high time Darren Ferguson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Gillingham FC that had 182 games and scored 239 goals.
- 20' England international Stuart O'Keefe has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' Over 30 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 35' Peterborough United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Gillingham FC backline.
- 40' Ivan Toney is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Gillingham FC so far.
- 45' Gillingham FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 50' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 52' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Mark Beevers on 52 minutes.
- 57' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Peterborough United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 62' It looks surprising Gillingham FC does not make any changes. Niall Mason has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 65' The Peterborough United FC bench stirs into life. George Boyd is withdrawn and Marcus Maddison gets his opportunity.
- 70' 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 Dan Butler suffering a number of foals already.
- 73' That is a Yellow card for Gillingham FC. Alfie Jones will be fuming at that decision.
- 78' Peterborough United FC is showing some good football. However, Peterborough United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 79' The crowd applauds Jordan Roberts as he leaves the pitch. Alex Jakubiak steps in for Gillingham FC.
- 80' A moment of madness from Thomas O'Connor on 80 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Gillingham FC will be frustrated.
- 85' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Peterborough United FC and Gillingham FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 87' Mark Beevers has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Red card on 87.
- 88' The Peterborough United FC bench stirs into life. Mohamed Eisa is withdrawn and Rhys Bennett gets his opportunity.
- 90' Time for substitution for Peterborough United FC. Reece Brown is replaced by Joe Ward.
- Game over. The scoreline of 0-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
