27' Paul Onuachu with the second goal in the match!
32' The New Saints FC is showing some good football. However, The New Saints FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

42' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
47' The New Saints FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 47.
52' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Benjamin Cabango made 141 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
