Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Rochdale AFC gets underway.
- 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Nicholas Freeman is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Wycombe Wanderers FC.
- 15' Rochdale AFC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 18' What a moment for Ian Henderson! That strike on 18 puts his side firmly in control.
- 23' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 28' 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 Adebayo Akinfenwa suffering a number of foals already.
- 31' A goal from the England international Jason McCarthy! He fires home on 31 to make it 1-1!
- 36' The travelling Rochdale AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 41' Rochdale AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 46' 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.
- 51' England international David Wheeler has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 56' 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.
- 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Wycombe Wanderers FC that had 364 games and scored 425 goals.
- 66' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 71' Wycombe Wanderers FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Rochdale AFC backline.
- 73' Paul Smyth has so much to prove this time. He replaces David Wheeler on 73 minute.
- 75' That is a Yellow card for Rochdale AFC. Stephen Dooley will be fuming at that decision.
- 79' The referee calls foul for Calvin Andrew. He receives a Yellow card.
- 80' Darius Charles has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 80.
- 85' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 87' The whistle greets Dominic Gape as he departs to be replaced by Nnamdi Ofoborh.
- 89' The whistle greets Curtis Thompson as he departs to be replaced by Matt Bloomfield.
- Game over. The scoreline of 2-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
