Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Vale Park. Port Vale FC are looking to make home advantage count against Wycombe Wanderers FC.

  • 19' Port Vale FC is showing some good football. However, Port Vale FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 24' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 29' 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 Dale Taylor suffering a number of foals already.

  • 71' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 71 minutes.
