- 0' That's the starting whistle at Crown Oil Arena. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Rochdale AFC and Scunthorpe United FC.
- 5' 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.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. James Perch made 51 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 14' The England Aaron Wilbraham breaks the deadlock on 14 minutes. 1-0!
- 16' What composure from Jordan Hallam! The England international strokes it home. 1-1.
- 21' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Stuart McCall will be considering his options from the bench.
- 26' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 27' That is a Yellow card for Scunthorpe United FC. Harrison McGahey will be fuming at that decision.
- 32' 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 Levi Sutton suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 42' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tony McMahon on 42.
- 46' The whistle greets Tony McMahon as he departs to be replaced by Lewis Butroid.
- 51' Kgosietsile Ntlhe adds to his 0 season tally! Rochdale AFC lead 2-1 — and this changes everything.
- 56' It looks like no one’s ball. Scunthorpe United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 60' GOAL! Aaron Wilbraham fires home to make it 3-1!
- 65' It is a cagey affair so far. Rochdale AFC in their trying to find a way past Scunthorpe United FC's compact .
- 70' Joe Bunney is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Rochdale AFC so far.
- 71' The Scunthorpe United FC bench stirs into life. James Perch is withdrawn and Adam Hammill gets his opportunity.
- 76' Scunthorpe United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 79' Calvin Andrew is replacing Aaron Wilbraham for the Rochdale AFC side.
- 84' 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.
- 86' Jimmy Keohane is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kgosietsile Ntlhe at the 86 minute mark.
- 90' Stephen Dooley is ready to make an impact after coming on for Matt Done at the 90 minute mark.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Rochdale AFC players.
