Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Wigan Athletic FC and Blackburn Rovers FC has kicked off!
  • 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 Charlie Wyke suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Scott Wharton has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' Blackburn Rovers FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.

  • 27' A moment of madness from Tom Naylor on 27 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Wigan Athletic FC will be frustrated.
  • 32' 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.
