- 10' Sheffield United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Callum O'Hare on 10.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Vinicius Souza made 390 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' Oxford United FC have won 490 goals from 369 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 48' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 53' 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 Greg Leigh suffering a number of foals already.
