  • 0' We are underway at Vale Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Port Vale FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Port Vale FC that had 152 games and scored 107 goals.
  • 20' Gavin Massey has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' It looks surprising Port Vale FC does not make any changes. James Wilson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 60' 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 Connor Ripley suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' Ben Garrity is replacing Ethan Chislett for the Port Vale FC side.
  • 66' Port Vale 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.
  • 68' Another substitution for Carlisle United FC to replace Sean Maguire by Jordan Gibson on 68 minute.
  • 73' 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.

  • 81' It’s high time Andy Crosby made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
