Match Events
- 0' Peterborough United FC have kicked off against Rochdale AFC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rochdale AFC that had 140 games and scored 206 goals.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Jordan Williams is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Peterborough United FC tonight.
- 20' Ethan Hamilton has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 3 cards already picked up this season.
- 23' What a strike from Lee Tomlin! The score is 1-0.
- 28' Peterborough United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 33' Ryan Delaney has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 37' Rochdale AFC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 42' 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 Ryan Tafazolli suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' Rochdale AFC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ethan Ebanks-Landell is hanging Jordan Williams on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Peterborough United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 52' Ethan Hamilton catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 52.

- 62' Rochdale AFC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joe Rafferty made 140 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 70' A tactical swap from Peterborough United FC — George Cooper on, Lee Tomlin off on 70 minutes.
- 75' 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.
- 78' Fresh legs for Rochdale AFC! Brad Inman comes on to replace Stephen Dooley.
- 82' Alex Woodyard is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kyle Dempsey at the 82 minute mark.
- 84' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. George Cooper makes it 2-0.
- 88' Joe Ward makes way for Ben White at the 88 minute mark. A tactical switch from Peterborough United FC.
- 90' What a moment for Ethan Hamilton! That strike on 90 puts his side firmly in control.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Peterborough United FC players.
