Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Peterborough United FC and Portsmouth FC is underway.
- 5' Peterborough United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Portsmouth FC backline.
- 10' 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 Will Norris suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 20' 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.
- 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Peterborough United FC and Portsmouth FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Myles Peart-Harris made 352 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 32' Kusini Yengi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Christian Saydee at the 32 minute mark.
- 37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 42' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 47' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Peterborough United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 52' David Ajiboye needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 3 Yellow cards this season.
- 57' The energy levels are beginning to show. Darren Ferguson might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 61' Gavin Whyte is replacing Myles Peart-Harris for the Portsmouth FC side.
- 65' Peterborough United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ricky Jade-Jones is hanging Malik Mothersille on the field on 65 minute.
- 70' Ephron Mason-Clark is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Portsmouth FC so far.
- 75' Kwame Poku has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 75.
- 77' What a strike from Kusini Yengi! The score is 0-1.
- 78' That is a card for Portsmouth FC. Marlon Pack will be fuming at that decision.
- 83' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. John Mousinho will be considering his options from the bench.
- 88' The travelling Portsmouth FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 90' The crowd applauds Jadel Katongo as he leaves the pitch. Jonson Clarke-Harris steps in for Peterborough United FC.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Peterborough United FC.
