Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Stevenage FC and Blackpool FC is underway.
  • 5' A quiet spell here at Lamex Stadium. Stevenage FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 10' Stevenage FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' James Husband has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' Jamie Reid has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 10 cards already picked up this season.
  • 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Stevenage FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 40' Nick Freeman is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Blackpool FC tonight.
  • 45' A moment of madness from Kylian Kouassi on 45 minutes earns him a card. Blackpool FC will be frustrated.
  • 50' England international Finley Burns has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 55' 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 Shayne Lavery suffering a number of foals already.
  • 58' A tactical swap from Stevenage FC — Jake Forster-Caskey on, Finley Burns off on 58 minutes.
  • 63' It looks surprising Blackpool FC does not make any changes. Christopher Hamilton has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 68' Blackpool FC have won 474 goals from 388 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 69' Karamoko Dembele is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kylian Kouassi at the 69 minute mark.
  • 74' A moment of madness from Dan Butler on 74 minutes earns him a card. Stevenage FC will be frustrated.
  • 78' Another substitution for Blackpool FC to replace Christopher Hamilton by Shayne Lavery on 78 minute.
  • 79' Controversy at the stadium! Karamoko Dembele argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 84' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 85' Jake Forster-Caskey doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 85' Poor challenge from James Husband. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 88' The whistle greets Oliver Norburn as he departs to be replaced by Matty Virtue.
  • 89' Stevenage FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • Blackpool FC will have plenty to reflect on. Stevenage FC were simply the better side today.
