Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Montgomery Waters Meadow will turn into a battlefield for Shrewsbury Town FC and Portsmouth FC.
  • 5' Shrewsbury Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' Shrewsbury Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 12' That looks like a foul for a card for Sean Raggett.
  • 17' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 22' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Christian Saydee made 335 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 27' Supporters expect more eagerness from Terry Devlin, as he is very good at scoring at Montgomery Waters Meadow with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 32' 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.
  • 37' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 42' It looks surprising Portsmouth FC does not make any changes. Kusini Yengi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' Another change for Shrewsbury Town FC made on 46 minute. Ryan Bowman leaves to be changed by Max Mata.
  • 47' Abu Kamara puts Portsmouth FC on the lead.
  • 52' 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.
  • 57' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

  • 67' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

  • 72' That looks like a foul for a card for Joe Morrell.
  • 72' Another substitution for Portsmouth FC to replace Kusini Yengi by Colby Bishop on 72 minute.
  • 77' 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 Nohan Kenneh suffering a number of foals already.
  • 78' Time for substitution for Portsmouth FC. Joe Morrell is replaced by Christian Saydee.
  • 83' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shrewsbury Town FC that had 329 games and scored 385 goals.
  • 84' Abu Kamara with the second goal in the match!
  • 88' Time for substitution for Portsmouth FC. Abu Kamara is replaced by Terry Devlin.
