0' KICK OFF: Portsmouth FC gets underway.
5' Plymouth Argyle FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
10' It looks surprising Portsmouth FC does not make any changes. Josh Murphy has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
15' Regan Poole has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portsmouth FC that had 371 games and scored 525 goals.
25' 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.
30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
35' 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.
40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
44' GOAL! Mustapha Bundu scores on 44. Assisted by Ryan Hardie

55' Another change for Portsmouth FC made on 55 minute. Matt Ritchie leaves to be changed by Kaide Gordon.
60' Portsmouth FC is showing some good football. However, Portsmouth FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

64' Kornel Szucs is replacing Julio Pleguezuelo for the Plymouth Argyle FC side.
65' The whistle greets Ryan Hardie as he departs to be replaced by Bali Mumba.

77' The whistle greets Mustapha Bundu as he departs to be replaced by Nathanael Ogbeta.
82' 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.
