- 0' KICK OFF: Southend United FC gets underway.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Southend United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' Bradford City AFC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' It’s high time Michael Collins made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 25' Stephen McLaughlin has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' 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 Timothee Dieng suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 36' Southend United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 36.
- 41' Bradford City AFC is showing some good football. However, Bradford City AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 46' Kelvin Mellor has so much to prove this time. He replaces Joe Riley on 46 minute.
- 51' Southend United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 52' GOAL! Tom Hopper scores on 52. Assisted by Michael Kightly
- 56' GOAL! Simon Cox scores on 56. Assisted by Ben Coker
- 57' It is a substitution in Bradford City AFC team. Jack Payne is replaced by Jordan Gibson on 57 minute.
- 62' 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.
- 63' Another change for Bradford City AFC made on 63 minute. Hope Akpan leaves to be changed by George Miller.
- 68' It looks surprising Southend United FC does not make any changes. Kelvin Mellor has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 73' 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.
- 76' The supporters are chanting for Theo Robinson. He replaces Simon Cox on 76 minute.
- 81' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 85' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Anthony O'Connor.
- 90' The Southend United FC manager makes a substitution. Michael Kightly departs to be replaced by Stephen Hendrie.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Southend United FC and Bradford City AFC (для сухой ничьи).
