Events

Match Events

  • 23' Andrew Hughes was booked on 23.
  • 28' Emil Riis Jakobsen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 5 cards already picked up this season.
  • 33' Coventry City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 33.
  • 38' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Coventry City FC that had 376 games and scored 474 goals.
  • 43' 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.

  • 46' Goal! Tyler Walker scores his 26 goal in 374 matches.

  • 79' A tactical swap from Preston North End FC — Tom Barkhuizen on, Scott Sinclair off on 79 minutes.
  • 84' Preston North End FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 85' Josh Murphy is ready to make an impact after coming on for Emil Riis Jakobsen at the 85 minute mark.
  • 90' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Mark Robins will be considering his options from the bench.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Coventry City FC.
