0' In just a few seconds Edgeley Park will turn into a battlefield for Stockport County FC and Port Vale FC.
4' Goal! Martin Sherif scores his 1 goal in 319 matches.
9' It’s high time Dave Challinor made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
14' It looks surprising Stockport County FC does not make any changes. Rhys Walters has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
19' The 23-year-old Ethan Pye has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
23' Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and Port Vale FC are in front.
28' Grant Ward has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
33' Port Vale FC 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.
36' Stockport County FC player sees a card in front of him.
41' Ethon Archer is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Port Vale FC tonight.
46' Tayo Edun gets the nod from Stockport County FC. He replaces Josh Stokes and will look to change the dynamic.
51' Stockport County FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
61' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Stockport County FC and Port Vale FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
65' Another substitution for Stockport County FC to replace Jack Diamond by Lewis Bate on 65 minute.
70' 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 George Hall suffering a number of foals already.
75' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
76' A change in the Port Vale FC ranks — Grant Ward exits the field as Ben Heneghan enters on 76.
81' 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.
84' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Jon Brady on 84 minutes.
86' Magnificent from Odin Bailey! That is 10 goals in 383 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
89' George Byers is ready to make an impact after coming on for Martin Sherif at the 89 minute mark.
90' Poor challenge from Ben Osborn. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
The referee brings this contest to a close. Port Vale FC take all three points.
