Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Rochdale AFC to score. At the same time, Burton Albion FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' It’s high time Brian Barry-Murphy made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Burton Albion FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 15' Rochdale AFC 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.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Burton Albion FC that had 372 games and scored 418 goals.
- 25' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Rochdale AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' The travelling Burton Albion FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' Kwadwo Baah is having his name booked by the referee on 40.
- 45' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 50' It looks surprising Burton Albion FC does not make any changes. Kane Hemmings has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oliver Rathbone made 140 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 56' Burton Albion FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kane Hemmings is hanging Mike Fondop-Talom on the field on 56 minute.
- 61' 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 Alex Newby suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' What a strike from Kane Hemmings! The score is 0-1.
- 70' Supporters expect more eagerness from Conor Shaughnessy, as he is very good at scoring at Crown Oil Arena with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
