Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Port Vale FC to score. At the same time, Cambridge United FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Cambridge United FC is showing some good football. However, Cambridge 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' It looks like no one’s ball. Port Vale FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cambridge United FC that had 191 games and scored 193 goals.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' Jubril Okedina has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' Port Vale FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 40' It looks surprising Port Vale FC does not make any changes. Jensen Weir has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' The travelling Cambridge United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 50' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 55' It’s high time Barry Corr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 60' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 65' 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.
- 70' 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.
- 75' Supporters expect more eagerness from James Gibbons, as he is very good at scoring at Vale Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 80' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Liam Bennett made 191 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 90' 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 Uche Ikpeazu suffering a number of foals already.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
