Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Portsmouth FC gets underway.
5' Peterborough United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Portsmouth FC backline.
10' 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.
15' The referee shows Portsmouth FC player a Yellow card on 15.
20' Ross McCrorie has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
25' Frazer Blake-Tracy has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 397 appearances.
30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
32' A stunning finish from Dan Butler — that came from absolutely nowhere!
37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Peterborough United FC that had 397 games and scored 608 goals.
41' Reece Brown catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 41.
46' The supporters are chanting for Ross McCrorie. He replaces Jack Whatmough on 46 minute.
51' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
55' Another substitution for Portsmouth FC to replace Ben Close by Andy Cannon on 55 minute.
60' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
65' Portsmouth FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
69' Oliver Hawkins is replacing Cameron McGeehan for the Portsmouth FC side.
74' A change in the Peterborough United FC ranks — Reece Brown exits the field as Josh Knight enters on 74.
79' A moment of madness from Andy Cannon on 79 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Portsmouth FC will be frustrated.
82' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Tom Naylor.
86' Assisted by Christy Pym with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ivan Toney makes no mistake. 2-0!
88' Time for substitution for Peterborough United FC. Samuel Szmodics is replaced by George Boyd.
90' Sean Raggett picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Peterborough United FC players.
