- 8' GOAL! Victor Adeboyejo scores on 8.
- 11' The deadlock is broken! Eoghan O'Connell gets on the scoresheet on 11 minutes.
- 16' The travelling Bristol Rovers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 21' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 26' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rollin Menayese made 291 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 36' Bristol Rovers FC have won 317 goals from 291 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 37' Poor challenge from Alfie Kilgour. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 42' 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 Anssi Jaakkola suffering a number of foals already.
