  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' Manolis Siopis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 34' Goal! Ollie Tanner scores his 6 goal in 372 matches.
  • 36' GOAL! Di'Shon Bernard scores on 36. Assisted by Josh Windass
