Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Southend United FC vs Gillingham FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' It’s high time Chris Powell made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' It looks surprising Southend United FC does not make any changes. Mark Byrne has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Billy Bingham 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 Callum Reilly suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Gillingham FC have won 239 goals from 183 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 39' Billy Bingham catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 39.
  • 40' Sam Mantom does the damage! The net is bulging and Southend United FC surge ahead!
  • 45' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 50' Josh Rees is replacing Billy Bingham for the Gillingham FC side.
  • 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 65' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 70' Luke O'Neill is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Southend United FC tonight.
  • 74' Elvis Bwomono is having his name booked by the referee on 74.
  • 76' The Southend United FC manager makes a substitution. Dru Yearwood departs to be replaced by Simon Cox.
  • 81' 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.
  • 84' Fresh legs for Gillingham FC! Elliott List comes on to replace Callum Reilly.
  • 85' Southend United FC make a change. Harry Bunn trudges off to be replaced by John White on 85 minutes.
