Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Wigan Athletic FC and Burton Albion FC is underway.
- 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.

- 25' The 38-year-old Michael Mancienne has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 30' 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 Deji Oshilaja suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 36' It’s a booking for Wigan Athletic FC player. Tendayi Darikwa gets a Yellow card.

- 69' Ben Garratt is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Burton Albion FC so far.
- 74' 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.
- 77' The Wigan Athletic FC bench stirs into life. Tom Bayliss is withdrawn and Thelo Aasgaard gets his opportunity.
- 82' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Wigan Athletic FC that had 380 games and scored 405 goals.
- 87' It is a substitution in Wigan Athletic FC team. James McClean is replaced by Tom Pearce on 87 minute.
- Another three points for Wigan Athletic FC.
