Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Wigan Athletic FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' It looks surprising Swindon Town FC does not make any changes. Jordan Garrick has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' 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.
- 17' What a strike from Curtis Tilt! The score is 1-0.
- 22' Supporters expect more eagerness from Will Keane, as he is very good at scoring at DW Stadium with 16 goals in the last 13 games.
- 23' Hallam Hope has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jordan Garrick on 23 minute.
- 28' Joe Dodoo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 33' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Thelo Aasgaard made 380 appearances and scored 33 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 38' Swindon Town FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 42' Swindon Town FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 47' Tom Broadbent has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 52' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 52 minutes.
- 56' What a strike from Will Keane! The score is 2-0.
- 57' Goal! Will Keane scores his 71 goal in 380 matches.
- 58' It is a substitution in Swindon Town FC team. Jack Payne is replaced by Tyler Smith on 58 minute.
- 59' Goal! Scott Twine scores his 43 goal in 57 matches.
- 60' Goal! Will Keane scores his 71 goal in 380 matches.
- 65' 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 Brett Pitman suffering a number of foals already.
- 66' The referee shows Wigan Athletic FC player a Red card on 66.
- 68' The Wigan Athletic FC manager makes a substitution. Danny Gardner departs to be replaced by Scott Wootton.
- 73' It looks like no one’s ball. Swindon Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 77' GOAL! Hallam Hope scores on 77.
- 79' The Wigan Athletic FC manager makes a substitution. Will Keane departs to be replaced by Kyle Joseph.
- 84' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Swindon Town FC that had 57 games and scored 65 goals.
- 88' The supporters are chanting for Corey Whelan. He replaces Callum Lang on 88 minute.
- 90' GOAL! Tyler Smith scores on 90. Assisted by Jonathan Grounds
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Swindon Town FC players.
