5' The referee calls foul for Jason Cummings. He receives a Yellow card.
10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Portsmouth FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
15' Aaron Pierre, a Grenada , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
20' 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.
25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
28' The referee calls foul for Aaron Pierre. He receives a Yellow card.
33' Shrewsbury Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 33.
34' A moment of madness from Shaun Whalley on 34 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Shrewsbury Town FC will be frustrated.
39' 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.
44' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Portsmouth FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
49' It looks like no one’s ball. Shrewsbury Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
54' A quiet spell here at Fratton Park. Shrewsbury Town FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
55' Another change for Portsmouth FC made on 55 minute. Gareth Evans leaves to be changed by Andy Cannon.
60' With 0 assists to his name this season, Rekeil Pyke is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Shrewsbury Town FC.
65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
67' Marcus Harness catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 67.
69' It is a substitution in Portsmouth FC team. Marcus Harness is replaced by Ryan Williams on 69 minute.
71' Fresh legs for Shrewsbury Town FC! Marlon Fossey comes on to replace Ro-Shaun Williams.

80' Another substitution for Portsmouth FC to replace Bryn Morris by Ben Close on 80 minute.
84' Time for substitution for Shrewsbury Town FC. Jason Cummings is replaced by Ryan Barnett.
89' 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 Matija Sarkic suffering a number of foals already.
90' The referee does not hesitate — a Red card for Aaron Pierre on 90 minutes.
It finishes all square. Portsmouth FC and Shrewsbury Town FC share the spoils 0-0.
