- 43' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 48' Luton Town 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.
- 53' It looks surprising Rochdale AFC does not make any changes. James Justin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 55' The supporters are chanting for Harry Cornick. He replaces Elliot Lee on 55 minute.
- 58' Jordan Williams makes way for Calvin Andrew at the 58 minute mark. A tactical switch from Rochdale AFC.
- 63' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Rochdale AFC and Luton Town FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 68' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Luton Town FC that had 382 games and scored 465 goals.
- 70' Zach Clough gets the nod from Rochdale AFC. He replaces Brad Inman and will look to change the dynamic.
- 74' A moment of madness from Danny Hylton on 74 minutes earns him a Red card. Luton Town FC will be frustrated.

- 82' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rochdale AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 87' 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 Jack Stacey suffering a number of foals already.
- The referee brings this contest to a close. take all three points.
