Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Southampton FC and Blackpool FC has kicked off!
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' Sekou Mara is having his name booked by the referee on 10.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for CJ Hamilton.
  • 22' Goal! Romain Perraud scores his 18 goal in 435 matches.
  • 27' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 32' 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.
  • 37' 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.
  • 42' Blackpool FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 47' Blackpool FC is showing some good football. However, Blackpool FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 52' Southampton FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 52.
  • 57' 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 Ian Carlo Poveda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 58' Another change for Blackpool FC made on 58 minute. James Husband leaves to be changed by Jordan Thorniley.
  • 62' Goal! Romain Perraud scores his 18 goal in 435 matches.

  • 80' Blackpool FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Southampton FC that had 348 games and scored 417 goals.

  • 87' The whistle greets Romeo Lavia as he departs to be replaced by Ibrahima Diallo.
