Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at DW Stadium!
  • 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 Max Power suffering a number of foals already.
  • 6' What composure from Max Power! The England international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 11' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 16' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 19' Ethan Laird is having his name booked by the referee on 19.
  • 24' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 24 minutes.
  • 29' Wigan Athletic FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 34' Wigan Athletic FC make a change. Danel Sinani trudges off to be replaced by Thelo Aasgaard on 34 minutes.
  • 39' Queens Park Rangers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 39.
  • 44' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 46' The crowd applauds Jimmy Dunne as he leaves the pitch. Ilias Chair steps in for Queens Park Rangers FC.
  • 50' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Rob Dickie on 50 minutes.
  • 55' Wigan Athletic FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Queens Park Rangers FC backline.
  • 60' With 0 assists to his name this season, Callum Lang is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Wigan Athletic FC.
  • 65' Queens Park Rangers FC is showing some good football. However, Queens Park Rangers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 66' Tom Naylor is replacing Callum Lang for the Wigan Athletic FC side.
  • 71' It looks surprising Wigan Athletic FC does not make any changes. Chris Willock has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 74' The Queens Park Rangers FC bench stirs into life. Stefan Johansen is withdrawn and Andre Dozzell gets his opportunity.
  • 75' Another substitution for Queens Park Rangers FC to replace Chris Willock by Albert Adomah on 75 minute.
  • 79' The supporters are chanting for Aaron Drewe. He replaces Ethan Laird on 79 minute.
  • 81' Max Power catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 81.
  • 86' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Queens Park Rangers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • Wigan Athletic FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
