Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Portsmouth FC welcome Oxford United FC for this crunch clash at Fratton Park.
  • 5' Oxford United FC is showing some good football. However, Oxford United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Portsmouth FC and Oxford United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' Portsmouth FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Oxford United FC backline.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' With 0 assists to his name this season, Sam Long is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Portsmouth FC.
  • 35' It looks surprising Oxford United FC does not make any changes. Kyle Edwards has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' The energy levels are beginning to show. Des Buckingham might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 45' The 29-year-old Siriki Dembele has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 46' Another substitution for Oxford United FC to replace Ben Nelson by Greg Leigh on 46 minute.
  • 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Josh Murphy made 372 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 56' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 58' The deadlock is broken! Mark O'Mahony gets on the scoresheet on 58 minutes.
  • 61' Siriki Dembele is replacing Kyle Edwards for the Oxford United FC side.
  • 66' Greg Leigh is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Portsmouth FC tonight.
  • 67' Controversy at the stadium! Peter Kioso argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 70' The Oxford United FC manager makes a substitution. Mark Harris departs to be replaced by Dane Scarlett.
  • 72' Brilliant from the ! Louie Sibley makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 72.
  • 77' 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.
  • 79' Portsmouth FC make a change. Mark O'Mahony trudges off to be replaced by Harvey Blair on 79 minutes.
  • 84' 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 Marlon Pack suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' Christian Saydee makes way for Matt Ritchie at the 86 minute mark. A tactical switch from Portsmouth FC.
  • 90' Paddy Lane gets the nod from Portsmouth FC. He replaces Elias Sorensen and will look to change the dynamic.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
