Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at The Energy Check County Ground. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Swindon Town FC and Northampton Town FC.
- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 10' Northampton Town FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 25' The whistle greets Alan Sheehan as he departs to be replaced by Fraser Horsfall.
- 26' A stunning finish from Ryan Watson — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 31' The energy levels are beginning to show. John Sheridan might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 36' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 41' Bryn Morris is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Northampton Town FC so far.
- 46' Archie Matthews is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Northampton Town FC tonight.
- 47' Magnificent from Scott Twine! That is 46 goals in 57 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 51' Poor challenge from Matthew Palmer. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 56' 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.
- 57' The Swindon Town FC bench stirs into life. Dominic Thompson is withdrawn and Hallam Hope gets his opportunity.
- 62' Fraser Horsfall has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 64' That is a Yellow card for Northampton Town FC. Joseph Mills will be fuming at that decision.
- 67' Jonathan Grounds has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 67.
- 69' Brett Pitman does the damage! The net is bulging and Swindon Town FC surge ahead!
- 74' Northampton Town FC ring the changes. Ryan Edmondson has done his job and it is now time for Danny Rose to step up.
- 75' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Bryn Morris.
- 77' Another change for Northampton Town FC made on 77 minute. Bryn Morris leaves to be changed by Shaun McWilliams.
- 82' 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 Dominic Thompson suffering a number of foals already.
- 87' Alan Sheehan has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Swindon Town FC 2-1 Northampton Town FC.
