Goal Timing (This Season)
Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Tranmere Rovers FC get us underway at Prenton Park.
- 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 Corey Blackett-Taylor suffering a number of foals already.
- 7' The Tranmere Rovers FC bench stirs into life. Paul Lewis is withdrawn and Otis Khan gets his opportunity.
- 12' Tranmere Rovers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Accrington Stanley FC backline.
- 13' Tranmere Rovers FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Corey Blackett-Taylor on 13.
- 18' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. John Coleman will be considering his options from the bench.
- 23' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 24' A stunning finish from Colby Bishop — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 29' It looks surprising Tranmere Rovers FC does not make any changes. Jay Spearing has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 34' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Tranmere Rovers FC and Accrington Stanley FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 39' Ross Sykes has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 44' Lee O'Connor is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Tranmere Rovers FC tonight.
- 49' A quiet spell here at Prenton Park. Tranmere Rovers FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 54' With 0 assists to his name this season, Paul Lewis is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Tranmere Rovers FC.
- 59' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kieron Morris made 65 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 61' Kaiyne Woolery is replacing Corey Blackett-Taylor for the Tranmere Rovers FC side.
- 64' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Matt Butcher.

- 82' 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.
