5' England international Zak Vyner has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
10' Bristol City FC come into this ranked 10 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
20' 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 Brendan Galloway suffering a number of foals already.
25' It looks surprising Bristol City FC does not make any changes. Sam Bell has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Plymouth Argyle FC and Bristol City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
32' What composure from Anis Mehmeti! The Albania international strokes it home. 0-1.
37' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-2-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
42' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
43' Bristol City FC make a change. Cameron Pring trudges off to be replaced by Haydon Roberts on 43 minutes.
48' Plymouth Argyle FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Bristol City FC backline.
50' Brilliant from the ! Rami Hajal makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 50.
55' The home supporters are growing impatient. Plymouth Argyle FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
56' Against the run of play, Jason Knight has scored! This game has turned on its head.
61' Bristol City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sam Bell is hanging Nahki Wells on the field on 61 minute.
65' Matthew Sorinola is having his name booked by the referee on 65.
70' George Tanner has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 98 appearances.
72' It is a substitution in Plymouth Argyle FC team. Ryan Hardie is replaced by Michael Obafemi on 72 minute.
75' The Plymouth Argyle FC manager makes a substitution. Bali Mumba departs to be replaced by Ibrahim Cissoko.
80' Bali Mumba has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 9 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
