Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Crewe Alexandra FC gets underway.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Portsmouth FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' Portsmouth FC is showing some good football. However, Portsmouth FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' Ronan Curtis needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 34 Yellow cards this season.
- 20' Portsmouth FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' 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.
- 30' Crewe Alexandra FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.

- 53' The travelling Crewe Alexandra FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 58' William Jaaskelainen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 63' 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 Marcus Harness suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' Goal! Marcus Harness scores his 46 goal in 371 matches.
- 65' The whistle greets Shaun MacDonald as he departs to be replaced by Oliver Finney.
