Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Bristol Rovers FC gets underway.

- 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Bristol Rovers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 30' 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 Kevin van Veen suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' What a strike from Jonson Clarke-Harris! The score is 0-1.
- 40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
