- 0' We are underway at Home Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' It’s high time Derek Adams made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 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 Niall Canavan suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ruben Lameiras made 331 appearances and scored 26 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' The travelling Walsall FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' David Fox needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 26' Isaiah Osbourne is having his name booked by the referee on 26.
- 31' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 36' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 36 minutes.
- 41' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 46' Cameron Norman has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 51' 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.
- 54' What a strike from Ryan Edwards! The score is 1-0.
- 57' The referee shows Walsall FC player a Yellow card on 57.

- 65' Goal! Niall Canavan scores his 4 goal in 331 matches.

- 87' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 90' Plymouth Argyle FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
