Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Fratton Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Portsmouth FC and Ipswich Town FC.
  • 5' Portsmouth FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 20' Ipswich Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' Jordan Williams is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Ipswich Town FC tonight.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jack Clarke made 358 appearances and scored 36 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' Marlon Pack was booked on 35.
  • 40' Ipswich Town FC come into this ranked 2 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 42' Conor Shaughnessy makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Portsmouth FC are in front.
  • 44' A stunning finish from Colby Bishop — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 49' Marcelino Nunez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 54' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 82' Controversy at the stadium! Terry Devlin argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 85' Time for substitution for Portsmouth FC. Adrian Segecic is replaced by Jacob Brown.
  • 90' Jaden Philogene-Bidace catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 90.
