Min 2: Tommy Tait (GCK) dinks the ball over the top of the onrushing Andreas Nieuport...
        ...and just over the bar.
Min 3: Alexei Eremenko (GCK) finds Rory McKenzie steaming through the middle...
        ...he gets into the area...

Min 13: The ball is chipped back to the far post...
        ...where two Gotham players are waiting...
        ...Alexei Eremenko (GCK) out jumps Mark Reilly...

        ...and is caught by a fan in the 7th row.
Min 20: Mark Reilly (GCK) finds Tam Brown...
        ...but he hesitates and Sam Chambers (PNE) is able to make the tackle.

        ...flicks the ball through the Preston defense to Tam Brown...
        ...who races towards goal...
        ...Andreas Nieuport rushes off his line and Tam Brown slots the ball around him...
        ...and wide of the goal.  What a missed opportunity for Gotham!

        ...Drago Lekovic palms the shot onto the bar...
        ...it spins back to Charif Tyson who heads the ball...
        ...but Alan Robertson (GCK) is there to knock it out of danger.
Min 49: Now the ball comes to Henry Lenny (PNE)...
        ...Nathan OMiles has space on the left and Henry Lenny tries to play him in...
        ...only for Wing Back (GCK) to stick out a boot and just intercept.
Min 51: Rory McKenzie (GCK) passes a great ball to Mark Reilly...
        ...whose low shot across goal is only parried by Lillywhites keeper Andreas Nieuport...
        ...and who else but Rory McKenzie is there to slot it in...
        ...all too easy...
        ...and Gotham have broken the deadlock...
        ...score now: PNE 0 - GCK 1
Min 56: Cinque Dyson (PNE) escapes the offside flag...
        ...as a ball is played up to him...
        ...but Alan Robertson (GCK) muscles out the big striker before he can control.
Min 57: The Knights sit back and absorb pressure...
        ...before Cinque Dyson's (PNE) ball into the box is cut out by Alan Robertson (GCK).
Min 59: Will Dennis (GCK) now gets a chance to cross...
        ...he looks for Tam Brown but it evades him...
        ...Mark Egan (PNE) is there to collect the ball and turn it back upfield.
Min 72: Tam Brown's (GCK) goal-bound effort is blocked brilliantly by Mick Aylesbury (PNE)...
        ...and it loops up and into the hands of Andreas Nieuport.
Min 72: Jasper Minecraft on for Charif Tyson(FW)...
        ...Jasper Minecraft will play FW.
Min 83: PNE now playing Press
Min 85: Will Dennis (GCK) crosses after some neat tricks inside the area...
        ...and Tam Brown heads in from close range...
        ...but Andreas Nieuport was there to save that one.
Min 86: Great tackle by Alan Robertson (GCK)...
        ...to prevent Mark Egan (PNE) from latching onto Cinque Dyson's pass. 
Min 87: Wing Back (GCK) weaves on the edge of the box...
        ...little pass to Rory McKenzie...
        ...and his teammate drives from the edge of the box...
        ...Andreas Nieuport comes out of the goal and hoofs the ball clear. 
Min 88: Paul Clarke (GCK) turns the ball back into the box...
        ...Kevin McGowne peels off to the back post...
        ...and connects with a great header but its off target.
Min 89: Les Nandy hits a short back-pass...
        ...and Rory McKenzie (GCK) latches on...
        ...but he can't beat an alert Andreas Nieuport.
Min 90: Jasper Minecraft (PNE) swings a ball in to the Gotham box...
        ...but the presence of Will Dennis (GCK) means it is easily cleared.
