Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Peterborough United FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Louis Reed made 383 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Walsall FC that had 65 games and scored 67 goals.
- 15' It looks surprising Walsall FC does not make any changes. Colin Daniel has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' 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.
- 25' Luke Leahy needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 30' Walsall FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 36' A meaty challenge results in booking for Andy Cook on 36.
- 41' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Peterborough United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' What a strike from Isaiah Osbourne! The score is 0-1.

- 46' Goal! Isaiah Osbourne scores his 4 goal in 65 matches.
- 47' Goal! Ivan Toney scores his 117 goal in 383 matches.
- 52' It looks like no one’s ball. Walsall FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 56' Peterborough United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mathew Stevens is hanging Matt Godden on the field on 56 minute.
- 61' 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.
- 66' 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 Matt Godden suffering a number of foals already.
- 71' George Cooper has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 73' Marcus Maddison was booked on 73.
