- 11' Will Nightingale was booked on 11.
- 14' What a strike from Sam Nicholson! The score is 1-1.
- 19' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brandon Hanlan made 182 appearances and scored 35 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 30' Goal! Ben Heneghan scores his 7 goal in 383 matches.
- 35' 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 Edward Upson suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' 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.
