Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Stockport County FC gets underway.
  • 5' 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 Adam Thomas suffering a number of foals already.
  • 7' John Rooney puts Stockport County FC on the lead.
  • 12' Stockport County FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 12.
  • 14' GOAL! Alex Reid scores on 14.
  • 19' Alex Newby needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 22' Goal! Matthew Lund scores his 18 goal in 51 matches.
  • 27' 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.
  • 32' It looks like no one’s ball. Stockport County FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 37' Stockport County FC is showing some good football. However, Stockport County FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 42' Rochdale AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 47' The travelling Stockport County FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 52' Fabio Tavares has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 57' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 62' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jim McNulty made 140 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
