Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Oxford United FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Oxford United FC that had 366 games and scored 485 goals.
  • 10' Oxford United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Oxford United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' The travelling Oxford United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 23' Oxford United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Matt Taylor on 23.
  • 28' 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.
  • 33' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 34' Elliott Moore has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 34.
  • 36' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Callum Lang makes no mistake. 1-1!
  • 41' Cameron Brannagan is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Oxford United FC tonight.
  • 45' Herbie Kane is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
  • 49' The referee has no hesitation. Graeme Shinnie is booked for Wigan Athletic FC — Yellow card on 49.
  • 54' 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 Tom Naylor suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marcus McGuane made 366 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 64' 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.
  • 65' The referee calls foul for Cameron Brannagan. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 69' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Luke McNally.
  • 71' Stephen Humphrys makes way for Josh Magennis at the 71 minute mark. A tactical switch from Wigan Athletic FC.
  • 76' Jack Stevens has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 77' Another substitution for Oxford United FC to replace Matt Taylor by Sam Winnall on 77 minute.
  • 82' Wigan Athletic FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Oxford United FC's shape.
  • 85' Time for substitution for Wigan Athletic FC. Gavin Massey is replaced by Gwion Edwards.
  • 90' The whistle greets Mark Sykes as he departs to be replaced by John Mousinho.
  • 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
