Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Stevenage FC and Barnsley FC is underway.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Barnsley FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Barnsley FC winning 50% of all matches.
  • 15' Mael de Gevigney needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Stevenage FC that had 156 games and scored 133 goals.
  • 22' Daniel Kemp puts Stevenage FC on the lead.
  • 27' 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.
  • 32' Barnsley FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
  • 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' It looks surprising Stevenage FC does not make any changes. Jamie Reid has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' Time for substitution for Barnsley FC. Jack Shepherd is replaced by Georgie Gent.
  • 51' Stevenage FC is showing some good football. However, Stevenage FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
  • 61' 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 Kelechi Nwakali suffering a number of foals already.
  • 66' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jasper Pattenden, as he is very good at scoring at Lamex Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 71' Barnsley FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 72' Barnsley FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kelechi Nwakali is hanging Jonathan Bland on the field on 72 minute.
  • 77' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Barnsley FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 80' Jordan Houghton is replacing Louis Thompson for the Stevenage FC side.
  • 85' The whistle greets Luca Connell as he departs to be replaced by Leo Farrell.
  • 90' Bez Lubala has so much to prove this time. He replaces Matt Phillips on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. Stevenage FC beats Barnsley FC
