Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Peterborough United FC and Portsmouth FC is underway.
- 5' The travelling Portsmouth FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' 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.
- 15' 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 Colby Bishop suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Emmanuel Fernandez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' Portsmouth 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.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 32' It is a substitution in Portsmouth FC team. Christian Saydee is replaced by Kusini Yengi on 32 minute.
- 37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portsmouth FC that had 371 games and scored 525 goals.
- 42' Portsmouth FC is showing some good football. However, Portsmouth FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 47' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 47 minutes.
- 52' It’s high time Darren Ferguson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 57' Supporters expect more eagerness from David Ajiboye, as he is very good at scoring at Weston Homes Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 61' Time for substitution for Portsmouth FC. Myles Peart-Harris is replaced by Gavin Whyte.
- 65' Ricky Jade-Jones is replacing Malik Mothersille for the Peterborough United FC side.
- 70' Peterborough United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
- 75' Peterborough United FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 75.
- 77' GOAL! Kusini Yengi scores on 77. Assisted by Gavin Whyte
- 78' Portsmouth FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 83' 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.
- 88' It looks like no one’s ball. Peterborough United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 90' Another substitution for Peterborough United FC to replace Jadel Katongo by Jonson Clarke-Harris on 90 minute.
- With this win, Portsmouth FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
