Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Port Vale FC and Plymouth Argyle FC has kicked off!
- 3' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. James Plant makes it 1-0.
- 8' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 13' 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.
- 18' It’s high time Andy Crosby made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 23' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 23 minutes.
- 28' Plymouth Argyle FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gavin Massey, as he is very good at scoring at Vale Park with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
- 34' Against the run of play, Adam Randell has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 38' The deadlock is broken! Joe Edwards gets on the scoresheet on 38 minutes.
- 43' 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 Ryan Hardie suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' A tactical swap from Plymouth Argyle FC — Finn Azaz on, Danny Mayor off on 46 minutes.
- 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. James Wilson made 333 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 64' A change in the Port Vale FC ranks — Aaron Donnelly exits the field as Lewis Cass enters on 64.
- 69' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Plymouth Argyle FC that had 346 games and scored 426 goals.
- 72' Another substitution for Plymouth Argyle FC to replace Callum Wright by Jay Matete on 72 minute.
- 77' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
