- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 13' It’s a booking for Hull City AFC player. Sean McLoughlin gets a card.
- 16' Matt Ritchie is ready to make an impact after coming on for Harvey Blair at the 16 minute mark.
- 18' Against the run of play, Matt Crooks has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 23' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Hull City AFC that had 382 games and scored 433 goals.
- 33' It looks like no one’s ball. Portsmouth FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 38' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Josh Murphy made 376 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 67' 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 Ogilvie suffering a number of foals already.
- 71' The Portsmouth FC bench stirs into life. Marlon Pack is withdrawn and Isaac Hayden gets his opportunity.
