Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Swindon Town FC is hosting Blackpool FC for another epic battle.
- 5' 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 Jerry Yates suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Sullay Kaikai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 39 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' 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.
- 18' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ken Dougall on 18.
- 23' It looks surprising Swindon Town FC does not make any changes. Dominic Thompson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 28' Paul Caddis needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 33' 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.
- 38' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 43' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Swindon Town FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 44' Goal! Ellis Simms scores his 52 goal in 319 matches.
- 49' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 54' Blackpool FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 59' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 61' What a strike from Jerry Yates! The score is 0-2.
- 66' It looks like no one’s ball. Swindon Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 67' The whistle greets Ellis Simms as he departs to be replaced by Demetri Mitchell.
- 71' Time for substitution for Swindon Town FC. Brett Pitman is replaced by Hallam Hope.
- 76' Supporters expect more eagerness from Demetri Mitchell, as he is very good at scoring at The Energy Check County Ground with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 77' Time for substitution for Blackpool FC. Daniel Leo Gretarsson is replaced by Jordan Thorniley.
- 82' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brett Pitman made 371 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 85' The supporters are chanting for Ethan Robson. He replaces Sullay Kaikai on 85 minute.
- 90' The travelling Blackpool FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Blackpool FC players.
