Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Shrewsbury Town FC get us underway at Montgomery Waters Meadow.
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 8' Shrewsbury Town FC make a change. Tom Flanagan trudges off to be replaced by Joseph Anderson on 8 minutes.
  • 13' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Port Vale FC that had 153 games and scored 112 goals.
  • 18' 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 Gavin Massey suffering a number of foals already.
  • 23' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 28' What a strike from Max Mata! The score is 1-0.
  • 33' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 38' A quiet spell here at Montgomery Waters Meadow. Port Vale FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 43' Shrewsbury Town FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 43.
  • 45' Taylor Perry has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 45.
  • 46' The Shrewsbury Town FC bench stirs into life. Taylor Perry is withdrawn and Mal Benning gets his opportunity.
  • 48' The deadlock is broken! Daniel Udoh gets on the scoresheet on 48 minutes.
  • 53' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Shrewsbury Town FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 56' That looks like a foul for a card for Elliott Bennett.
  • 57' Ben Garrity doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 62' Shrewsbury Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 62.
  • 64' Jesse Debrah is replacing Ethan Chislett for the Port Vale FC side.
  • 69' Tom Flanagan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 74' It’s high time Matthew Taylor made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 79' It looks surprising Shrewsbury Town FC does not make any changes. Funso Ojo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 81' The referee shows Shrewsbury Town FC player a card on 81.
  • 86' Ryan Bowman has so much to prove this time. He replaces Elliott Bennett on 86 minute.
  • Shrewsbury Town FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
