Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Vale Park!
- 5' Wycombe Wanderers 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.
- 10' Port Vale FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 13' Magnificent from Brandon Hanlan! That is 35 goals in 183 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 18' 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 David Wheeler suffering a number of foals already.
- 23' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Port Vale FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 26' The Wycombe Wanderers FC manager makes a substitution. Ryan Tafazolli departs to be replaced by Jason McCarthy.
- 31' The travelling Wycombe Wanderers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 32' Poor challenge from Nicholas Freeman. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.

- 46' Daniel Butterworth is having his name booked by the referee on 46.
- 48' The referee has no hesitation. Sam Vokes is booked for Wycombe Wanderers FC — Yellow card on 48.
- 53' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nathan Smith made 154 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 56' Port Vale FC ring the changes. Dennis Politic has done his job and it is now time for Tom Conlon to step up.
- 57' Jamie Proctor gets the nod from Port Vale FC. He replaces Daniel Butterworth and will look to change the dynamic.
- 62' 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.
- 65' The whistle greets Nicholas Freeman as he departs to be replaced by Curtis Thompson.
- 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.
