Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Tranmere Rovers FC and Southport FC.
  • 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 Reagan Ogle suffering a number of foals already.
  • 9' Tranmere Rovers FC ring the changes. Dylan Mottley-Henry has done his job and it is now time for Johnny Smith to step up.
  • 14' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 18' The England Johnny Smith breaks the deadlock on 18 minutes. 1-0!
  • 23' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 28' Southport FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 33' Tranmere Rovers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Southport FC backline.
  • 38' The 28-year-old Marcus Wood has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 43' 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.
  • 45' A moment of madness from Dean Winnard on 45 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Southport FC will be frustrated.
  • 46' Another substitution for Tranmere Rovers FC to replace Paul Mullin by Ben Tollitt on 46 minute.
  • 51' Southport FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 56' 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.
  • 59' Tranmere Rovers FC make a change. Harvey Gilmour trudges off to be replaced by Adam Buxton on 59 minutes.
  • 64' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Tranmere Rovers FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 69' Ryan Astles has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 11 appearances.
  • 70' What an equalizer from Bradley Bauress!
  • 71' Devarn Green has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ryan Astles on 71 minute.
  • 76' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 81' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 86' Paul Mullin, a England forward, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
