- 0' The game is set. Milton Keynes Dons FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' What a strike from Matt O'Riley! The score is 0-1.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Matt Done made 140 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' 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 Scott Fraser suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' It looks surprising Rochdale AFC does not make any changes. Matthew Lund has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' Conor Shaughnessy needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 10 Yellow cards this season.
- 30' The referee calls foul for Eoghan O'Connell. He receives a Yellow card.
- 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 37' Time for substitution for Rochdale AFC. Eoghan O'Connell is replaced by Jimmy Keohane.
- 39' GOAL! Matthew Lund scores on 39. Assisted by Stephen Humphrys
- 44' Milton Keynes Dons FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 49' It’s high time Russell Martin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 54' 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.

- 85' Daniel Harvie is replacing Ethan Laird for the Milton Keynes Dons FC side.
- 90' 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.
