- 0' KICK OFF: Rochdale AFC gets underway.
- 5' 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 Stephen Dooley suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Mike Williamson is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Gateshead FC.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Steven Rigg made 13 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 21' A goal from the England international Jon Mellish! He fires home on 21 to make it 0-1!
- 23' GOAL! Ian Henderson scores on 23. Assisted by Brad Inman
- 28' Rochdale AFC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Gateshead FC backline.

- 41' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 46' The home supporters are growing impatient. Rochdale AFC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 49' What composure from Jon Mellish! The England international strokes it home. 1-2.

- 61' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 65' The crowd applauds Jack Hunter as he leaves the pitch. Luke Molyneux steps in for Gateshead FC.
