Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Gillingham FC gets underway.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Bristol Rovers 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.
- 15' Bristol Rovers FC is showing some good football. However, Bristol Rovers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 26' Vadaine Oliver puts Gillingham FC on the lead.
- 31' Gillingham FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 31.
- 36' 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 Thomas O'Connor suffering a number of foals already.

- 46' Alfie Kilgour has so much to prove this time. He replaces Luke McCormick on 46 minute.
