Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Preston North End FC and Derby County FC get this one started.
  • 5' It looks surprising Preston North End FC does not make any changes. Mason Bennett has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' Derby County FC have won 457 goals from 389 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Alex Neil might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 25' 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.
  • 28' Ben Pearson was booked on 28.
  • 33' Andrew Hughes needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
  • 38' Over 38 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 43' The 32-year-old Darnell Fisher has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 48' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ben Pearson is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Derby County FC.
  • 53' Andre Wisdom, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 58' 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 Declan Rudd suffering a number of foals already.
  • 63' Fikayo Tomori has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 65' The Derby County FC bench stirs into life. Martyn Waghorn is withdrawn and Mason Bennett gets his opportunity.
  • 69' The Derby County FC manager makes a substitution. David Nugent departs to be replaced by Andre Wisdom.
  • 74' Derby County 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.
  • 79' The Preston North End FC bench stirs into life. Paul Gallagher is withdrawn and Tom Barkhuizen gets his opportunity.
  • 84' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Preston North End FC and Derby County FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 89' The travelling Derby County FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Scott Malone on 90.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
