- 0' In just a few seconds Montgomery Waters Meadow will turn into a battlefield for Shrewsbury Town FC and Rochdale AFC.
- 5' It looks surprising Rochdale AFC does not make any changes. Aaron Morley has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' Aaron Pierre needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 28 Yellow cards this season.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jimmy Ryan, as he is very good at scoring at Montgomery Waters Meadow with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 20' 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.
- 22' Goal! Oliver Rathbone scores his 28 goal in 140 matches.
- 27' Shrewsbury Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
- 32' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 32 minutes.
- 36' Goal! Alex Newby scores his 6 goal in 13 matches.
- 39' The referee shows Shrewsbury Town FC player a Yellow card on 39.
- 44' 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 Oliver Norburn suffering a number of foals already.
- 47' Goal! Aaron Pierre scores his 12 goal in 191 matches.
- 52' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 57' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 59' The referee calls foul for Marlon Fossey. He receives a Yellow card.
- 64' Rochdale AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 69' Time for substitution for Shrewsbury Town FC. Scott High is replaced by Ryan Barnett.
- 71' Ryan McLaughlin is replacing Alex Newby for the Rochdale AFC side.
- 76' 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.
- 80' The whistle greets Jake Beesley as he departs to be replaced by Jim McNulty.
- 85' The travelling Rochdale AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 86' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Aaron Pierre.
- 88' Another substitution for Shrewsbury Town FC to replace Josh Vela by Brad Walker on 88 minute.
- 90' Matt Done is replacing Jimmy Ryan for the Rochdale AFC side.
- The final score is 1-2.
