0' The game is set. Blackburn Rovers FC kicks off things out of here…
5' The 28-year-old Daniel Grimshaw has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
15' Michael Obafemi has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 15 minutes.
20' Blackburn Rovers 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.
22' It’s a booking for Blackburn Rovers FC player. Dominic Hyam gets a card.
27' With 0 assists to his name this season, Arnor Sigurdsson is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Plymouth Argyle FC.
32' Blackburn Rovers FC have won 469 goals from 382 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
42' Ibrahim Cissoko is a natural left winger and has been asked to do a very specific job for Plymouth Argyle FC tonight.
47' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
49' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tyrhys Dolan on 49.
54' 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.
57' The Blackburn Rovers FC bench stirs into life. Tyrhys Dolan is withdrawn and Todd Cantwell gets his opportunity.
62' Fresh legs for Plymouth Argyle FC! Ryan Hardie comes on to replace Michael Obafemi.
66' Blackburn Rovers FC make a change. Andreas Weimann trudges off to be replaced by Amario Cozier-Duberry on 66 minutes.
67' That looks like a foul for a card for Adam Randell.
71' Another substitution for Plymouth Argyle FC to replace Ibrahim Cissoko by Mustapha Bundu on 71 minute.
72' Callum Wright is ready to make an impact after coming on for Rami Hajal at the 72 minute mark.
76' Another change for Blackburn Rovers FC made on 76 minute. Ryan Hedges leaves to be changed by Arnor Sigurdsson.
81' 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 Dominic Hyam suffering a number of foals already.
83' The supporters are chanting for Jordan Houghton. He replaces Darko Gyabi on 83 minute.
86' Against the run of play, Joe Rankin-Costello has scored! This game has turned on its head.
88' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jordan Houghton on 88.
90' Plymouth Argyle FC player sees a card in front of him.
Blackburn Rovers FC will have plenty to reflect on. Plymouth Argyle FC were simply the better side today.
