Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Plymouth Argyle FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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.
- 10' Plymouth Argyle FC is showing some good football. However, Plymouth Argyle FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 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 Luke Jephcott suffering a number of foals already.
- 18' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Paul McShane.
- 22' Kwadwo Baah is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
- 27' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryan Hardie made 251 appearances and scored 70 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 32' Rochdale AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
- 37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rochdale AFC that had 140 games and scored 206 goals.

- 52' 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.
- 57' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 57 minutes.
- 62' 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.
- 63' The Plymouth Argyle FC manager makes a substitution. Panutche Camara departs to be replaced by Ben Reeves.

- 84' Ryan Hardie has so much to prove this time. He replaces Luke Jephcott on 84 minute.
