Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Rotherham United FC to score. At the same time, Shrewsbury Town 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 travelling Shrewsbury Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 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 Louie Sibley suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' It’s high time Gareth Ainsworth made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Rotherham United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Aaron Pierre made 191 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' 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.
- 40' Shrewsbury Town FC is showing some good football. However, Shrewsbury Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 45' It looks surprising Rotherham United FC does not make any changes. Hakeem Odoffin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 50' Shrewsbury Town 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.
- 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shrewsbury Town FC that had 329 games and scored 385 goals.
- 60' 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.
- 65' Sam Nombe needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 11 Yellow cards this season.
- 68' Goal! Taylor Perry scores his 9 goal in 343 matches.
- 73' Shrewsbury Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 76' GOAL! Hakeem Odoffin scores on 76. Assisted by Joe Powell
- 77' John Marquis puts Shrewsbury Town FC on the lead.
- 82' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 82 minutes.
- 87' Zak Jules has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- The final score is 1-2.
