Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Coventry City FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It’s high time Mark Robins made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jak Alnwick made 51 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Coventry City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' Scunthorpe United FC is showing some good football. However, Scunthorpe United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Coventry City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 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 Funso-King Ojo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' The travelling Coventry City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' Lee Burge has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 46' Another substitution for Coventry City FC to replace Jordy Hiwula by Jonson Clarke-Harris on 46 minute.
  • 51' Coventry City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' It looks surprising Coventry City FC does not make any changes. Michael Doyle has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 61' Conor Chaplin needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 25 Yellow cards this season.
  • 66' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 67' Goal! James Perch scores his 3 goal in 51 matches.
  • 72' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 74' Goal! Levi Sutton scores his 1 goal in 51 matches.
  • 77' Sam McCallum is replacing Brandon Mason for the Coventry City FC side.
  • 78' GOAL! Conor Chaplin scores on 78.
  • 79' Clayton Lewis is replacing Lee Novak for the Scunthorpe United FC side.
  • 81' The referee shows Scunthorpe United FC player a Yellow card on 81.
  • 82' The referee shows Coventry City FC player a Yellow card on 82.
  • 87' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Scunthorpe United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • With this win, Scunthorpe United FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
