Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Newport County AFC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Newport County AFC that had 22 games and scored 32 goals.
- 10' Newport County AFC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jamille Matt on 10.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Newport County AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' It looks surprising Newport County AFC does not make any changes. Antoine Semenyo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' Kelechi Iheanacho has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' 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.
- 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Leicester City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 40' 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.
- 45' Leicester City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
- 46' James Maddison has so much to prove this time. He replaces Shinji Okazaki on 46 minute.
- 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 56' 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 Matthew Dolan suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' Demarai Gray has so much to prove this time. He replaces Danny Simpson on 60 minute.
- 65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rachid Ghezzal made 344 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 67' Another substitution for Newport County AFC to replace Tyler Hornby-Forbes by David Pipe on 67 minute.
- 72' It is a substitution in Leicester City FC team. Matty James is replaced by Andy King on 72 minute.
- 77' Newport County AFC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tyreeq Bakinson is hanging Jamille Matt on the field on 77 minute.
- 82' What a strike from Rachid Ghezzal! The score is 1-1.
- 85' GOAL! Padraig Amond scores on 85.
- 86' Newport County AFC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mark O'Brien is hanging Matthew Dolan on the field on 86 minute.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Newport County AFC players.
