Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Rochdale AFC to score. At the same time, Scunthorpe United FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' 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 Rory McArdle suffering a number of foals already.
- 14' What a strike from Aaron Wilbraham! The score is 1-0.
- 16' GOAL! Jordan Hallam scores on 16.
- 21' 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.
- 26' 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.
- 27' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Harrison McGahey.
- 32' Rochdale AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
- 42' Tony McMahon was booked on 42.
- 46' It is a substitution in Scunthorpe United FC team. Tony McMahon is replaced by Lewis Butroid on 46 minute.
- 51' GOAL! Kgosietsile Ntlhe scores on 51.

- 60' What a strike from Aaron Wilbraham! The score is 3-1.
- 65' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 70' The travelling Scunthorpe United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 71' Adam Hammill has so much to prove this time. He replaces James Perch on 71 minute.
