- 0' The ball is rolling at DW Stadium. Wigan Athletic FC are looking to make home advantage count against Rotherham United FC.
- 5' Wigan Athletic FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Wigan Athletic FC and Rotherham United FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' The travelling Rotherham United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' Rotherham United FC have won 375 goals from 357 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 30' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Steven Caulker made 182 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' 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.
- 45' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 50' 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 Callum Lang suffering a number of foals already.

- 69' Abdi Sharif is replacing Tony Scully for the Wigan Athletic FC side.
- 74' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 74 minutes.
- 75' Rotherham United FC ring the changes. Quina has done his job and it is now time for Georgie Kelly to step up.
- 80' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 85' Both keepers have barely been tested. Wigan Athletic FC and Rotherham United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 88' Another change for Rotherham United FC made on 88 minute. Jordan Hugill leaves to be changed by Peter Kioso.
