Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Milton Keynes Dons FC gets underway.
  • 5' 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.

  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 28' Zak Jules is having his name booked by the referee on 28.
