Events

Match Events

0' It’s Showtime! The match between Portsmouth FC and Shrewsbury Town FC is underway.
5' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jason Cummings on 5 minutes.
10' Brad Walker has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
20' 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.
25' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Portsmouth FC and Shrewsbury Town FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
28' Poor challenge from Aaron Pierre. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
33' Marlon Fossey has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
34' Shaun Whalley is having his name booked by the referee on 34.
39' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
44' Portsmouth FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Shrewsbury Town FC backline.
49' 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 Jack Whatmough suffering a number of foals already.
54' Shrewsbury Town FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
55' Andy Cannon is ready to make an impact after coming on for Gareth Evans at the 55 minute mark.
60' Portsmouth FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Shrewsbury Town FC's shape.
65' Marcus Harness has been relatively quiet despite scoring 51 goals in his last 377 appearances.
67' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Marcus Harness.
69' A change in the Portsmouth FC ranks — Marcus Harness exits the field as Ryan Williams enters on 69.
71' Shrewsbury Town FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marlon Fossey is hanging Ro-Shaun Williams on the field on 71 minute.
73' Bryn Morris has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 73.
75' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Josh Vela.
78' The Shrewsbury Town FC bench stirs into life. Josh Vela is withdrawn and Oliver Norburn gets his opportunity.
80' The supporters are chanting for Ben Close. He replaces Bryn Morris on 80 minute.
84' The Shrewsbury Town FC manager makes a substitution. Jason Cummings departs to be replaced by Ryan Barnett.
89' With 0 assists to his name this season, Callum Johnson is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Shrewsbury Town FC.
90' Aaron Pierre catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Red card on 90.
The final score is 0-0.
