- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Wigan Athletic FC and Derby County FC is underway.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Charlie Hughes made 380 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' The travelling Derby County FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Derby County FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 19' Derby County FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Curtis Nelson on 19.
- 24' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 29' 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 Conor Hourihane suffering a number of foals already.
- 34' Wigan Athletic FC is showing some good football. However, Wigan Athletic FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 39' 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.
- 44' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Wigan Athletic FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 69' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 74' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Derby County FC that had 385 games and scored 452 goals.
- 79' Joe Wildsmith needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 84' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
