- 26' Goal! Andy Cook scores his 19 goal in 65 matches.

- 39' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for George Dobson.
- 44' 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' That looks like a foul for a Red card for Marcus Browne.
- 50' Josh Gordon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. John Mousinho made 366 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 68' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.

- 84' Oxford United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jerome Sinclair is hanging Jamie Mackie on the field on 84 minute.
- 89' 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 Liam Roberts suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' What a strike from Jerome Sinclair! The score is 1-3.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Andy Cook.
- With this win, Oxford United FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
