  • 0' We are underway at Banks's Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' Carlisle United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' 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 Jack Ellis suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 29' Ryan Edmondson puts Carlisle United FC on the lead.
  • 34' It looks like no one’s ball. Carlisle United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Walsall FC that had 65 games and scored 67 goals.
  • 40' It’s a booking for Carlisle United FC player. Jon Mellish gets a Yellow card.

  • 51' Jayden Harris has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 41 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 63' Carlisle United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jack Stretton is hanging Kristian Dennis on the field on 63 minute.
