0' What a night it is going to be! Wigan Athletic FC welcome Crawley Town FC for this crunch clash at The Brick Community Stadium.
3' Josh Flint picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
8' 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.
13' 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 Will Aimson suffering a number of foals already.
18' Joe Hugill has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 7 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
23' Crawley Town FC have won 85 goals from 58 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
28' Matthew Smith has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 420 appearances.
30' Joy Mukena adds to his 0 season tally! Crawley Town FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
40' The travelling Crawley Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
45' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
50' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
55' Thelo Aasgaard is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Wigan Athletic FC so far.
58' The Wigan Athletic FC manager makes a substitution. Matthew Smith departs to be replaced by Kai Payne.
63' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Scott Lindsey will be considering his options from the bench.
68' With 0 assists to his name this season, Josh Flint is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Crawley Town FC.
70' Scott Smith is replacing Silko Thomas for the Wigan Athletic FC side.
75' It’s high time Scott Lindsey made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
77' Joe Hugill makes way for Chris Sze at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from Wigan Athletic FC.
78' Callum McManaman is replacing James Carragher for the Wigan Athletic FC side.
81' The crowd applauds Jay Williams as he leaves the pitch. Jack Roles steps in for Crawley Town FC.
83' Wigan Athletic FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 83.
88' A moment of madness from Ronan Darcy on 88 minutes earns him a card. Crawley Town FC will be frustrated.
89' Controversy at the stadium! Callum McManaman argues furiously but the card stands.
Crawley Town FC will have plenty to reflect on. Wigan Athletic FC were simply the better side today.
