Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Preston North End FC host Blackburn Rovers FC — let the battle begin!
1' The referee shows Blackburn Rovers FC player a Yellow card on 1.
6' The home supporters are growing impatient. Preston North End FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
9' A stunning finish from Sam Gallagher — that came from absolutely nowhere!
12' John Buckley doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
13' A goal from the England international John Buckley! He fires home on 13 to make it 0-3!
18' 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 Patrick Bauer suffering a number of foals already.
21' It’s a booking for Blackburn Rovers FC player. Sam Gallagher gets a Yellow card.
26' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Preston North End FC that had 378 games and scored 414 goals.
29' What a moment for Alan Browne! That strike on 29 puts his side firmly in control.
30' What a strike from Alan Browne! The score is 2-3.
35' It looks like no one’s ball. Preston North End FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
37' A goal from the Ireland international Darragh Lenihan! He fires home on 37 to make it 2-4!
38' Preston North End FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
43' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Preston North End FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
46' The Preston North End FC bench stirs into life. Greg Cunningham is withdrawn and Sean Maguire gets his opportunity.
51' Blackburn Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
53' Lewis Travis adds to his 0 season tally! Blackburn Rovers FC lead 2-5 — and this changes everything.
58' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joe Rothwell made 382 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
61' The referee calls foul for Ben Whiteman. He receives a Yellow card.
63' John Buckley has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 63.
68' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
71' Joe Rafferty gets the nod from Preston North End FC. He replaces Andrew Hughes and will look to change the dynamic.
76' Blackburn Rovers FC have won 469 goals from 382 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
79' Blackburn Rovers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ian Carlo Poveda is hanging Sam Gallagher on the field on 79 minute.
82' A tactical swap from Preston North End FC — Alistair McCann on, Ben Whiteman off on 82 minutes.
86' Bradley Dack gets the nod from Blackburn Rovers FC. He replaces John Buckley and will look to change the dynamic.
It finishes all square. Preston North End FC and Blackburn Rovers FC share the spoils 1-4.
