Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Portsmouth FC and Cambridge United FC is underway.
  • 5' Ryan Bennett was booked on 5.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portsmouth FC that had 371 games and scored 525 goals.
  • 15' Jack Stevens needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' Portsmouth FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Michael Morrison made 383 appearances and scored 20 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' James Brophy has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 36' The Portsmouth FC manager makes a substitution. Tom Lowery departs to be replaced by Owen Moxon.
  • 38' Goal! Danny Andrew scores his 20 goal in 235 matches.
  • 39' Will Norris was booked on 39.
  • 44' Goal! Kusini Yengi scores his 19 goal in 233 matches.
  • 44' It’s a booking for Cambridge United FC player. Jack Lankester gets a card.
  • 45' Cambridge United FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 50' It’s high time John Mousinho made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 55' Portsmouth 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.
  • 59' Portsmouth FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Myles Peart-Harris on 59.
  • 61' Michael Morrison is having his name booked by the referee on 61.
  • 66' It looks like no one’s ball. Portsmouth FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 72' Liam Bennett is replacing James Gibbons for the Cambridge United FC side.
  • 76' The whistle greets James Brophy as he departs to be replaced by Macauley Bonne.
  • 81' 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 Paddy Lane suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' 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.
  • 89' It’s a booking for Portsmouth FC player. Jack Sparkes gets a card.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Cambridge United FC.
