Events

Match Events

0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Rochdale AFC is hosting Peterborough United FC for another epic battle.
5' Peterborough United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Siriki Dembele on 5.
10' Rochdale AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
15' Peterborough United 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.
20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Conor Grant made 379 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
25' It’s high time Darren Ferguson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
40' 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 Samuel Szmodics suffering a number of foals already.
45' It looks surprising Rochdale AFC does not make any changes. Jonson Clarke-Harris has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
46' GOAL! Samuel Szmodics scores on 45. Assisted by Siriki Dembele
51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
55' What a strike from Stephen Humphrys! The score is 1-2.
58' It’s a booking for Rochdale AFC player. Oliver Rathbone gets a Yellow card.
61' Another substitution for Peterborough United FC to replace Joe Ward by Idris Kanu on 61 minute.
62' Another change for Rochdale AFC made on 62 minute. Stephen Humphrys leaves to be changed by Kwadwo Baah.
67' The travelling Peterborough United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
72' 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.
77' Peterborough United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 77.
82' Idris Kanu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 52 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
83' The whistle greets Conor Grant as he departs to be replaced by Aaron Morley.
87' What a strike from Jake Beesley! The score is 2-2.
90' What a strike from Jimmy Keohane! The score is 3-2.
90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Matt Done.
The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
