Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Northampton Town FC gets underway.
- 5' The travelling Northampton Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Northampton Town 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.

- 26' GOAL! Ryan Watson scores on 26. Assisted by Sam Hoskins
- 31' 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 Fraser Horsfall suffering a number of foals already.
- 36' 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.
