Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Wigan Athletic FC gets underway.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' It’s high time Phil Parkinson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' Wrexham AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' Wigan Athletic FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 27' Wigan Athletic FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 27.
  • 32' Wigan Athletic FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jensen Weir is hanging Babajide Adeeko on the field on 32 minute.
  • 37' Wrexham AFC 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' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 47' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Wrexham AFC that had 115 games and scored 101 goals.
  • 52' It looks surprising Wigan Athletic FC does not make any changes. Lewis Brunt has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' 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 Eoghan O'Connell suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' GOAL! Ryan Barnett scores on 60. Assisted by George Dobson
  • 61' That looks like a foul for a card for Ryan Barnett.

  • 67' Time for substitution for Wigan Athletic FC. Jonny Smith is replaced by Silko Thomas.

  • 77' The referee calls foul for Will Aimson. He receives a card.
  • 79' Goal! Joe Hugill scores his 8 goal in 409 matches.
  • 84' 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.
  • 85' Jensen Weir is having his name booked by the referee on 85.
  • 87' The Wrexham AFC manager makes a substitution. Oliver Rathbone departs to be replaced by Mo Faal.
