0' In just a few seconds Fratton Park will turn into a battlefield for Portsmouth FC and Northampton Town FC.
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.
7' Connor Ogilvie puts Portsmouth FC on the lead.
12' 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 Colby Bishop suffering a number of foals already.
16' What a strike from Paddy Lane! The score is 2-0.
21' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 21 minutes.
26' Callum Lang needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 43 Yellow cards this season.
31' It looks like no one’s ball. Northampton Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
36' 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.
40' It is a substitution in Northampton Town FC team. Sam Hoskins is replaced by Louis Appere on 40 minute.
42' It’s gonna be a card for Jon Guthrie.
47' It looks surprising Portsmouth FC does not make any changes. Patrick Brough has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
52' 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.
54' Portsmouth FC player sees a card in front of him.
57' The supporters are chanting for Sean Raggett. He replaces Myles Peart-Harris on 57 minute.
58' Paddy Lane with the second goal in the match!
63' Portsmouth FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
68' Northampton Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 68.
69' The Northampton Town FC manager makes a substitution. Jordan Willis departs to be replaced by Tony Springett.
71' What a strike from Callum Lang! The score is 4-0.
75' Portsmouth FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Abu Kamara is hanging Paddy Lane on the field on 75 minute.
79' The Northampton Town FC manager makes a substitution. Kieron Bowie departs to be replaced by Ben Fox.
84' Owen Moxon has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tom Lowery on 84 minute.
89' GOAL! Marc Leonard scores on 89.
90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jack Sparkes on 90.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Portsmouth FC players.
