Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Wigan Athletic FC and Chorley FC is underway.

- 8' The referee calls foul for Connor Hall. He receives a Yellow card.
- 13' 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.
- 18' 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 Connor Hall suffering a number of foals already.
- 19' Wigan Athletic FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Joe Garner on 19.
- 24' Wigan Athletic FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 24.

- 34' What a strike from Thomas James! The score is 2-0.
- 39' Harvey Smith needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
