    • 90' Full-time! It's honours even and on to Stadium MK next Friday.
    • 90' Corner-kick for MK Dons, the delivery is terrible! Doesn't even beat the first man!
    • 90' Goalmouth scramble in the Scunthorpe area but it's cleared, just.
    • 90' Five minutes of stoppage time.
    • 89' Is there one opportunity left for either of these teams? It's ebbed and flowed all night.
    • 88' Iron keeper Murphy has to come off with an injury, Lillis comes on.
    • 87' Wright off for MK, replaced by Cummings.
    • 86' The Dons are throwing everything at Scunthorpe now, what a change in fortunes.
    • 84' FANTASTIC chance for Baldock! He nutmegs Murphy and only has Mirfin to beat, but the MK defender makes a superb block.
    • 84' MK Dons hit Iron on the break, Wilbraham breaks down the right but his cross misses everyone.
    • 82' Scunthorpe are having an excellent spell here, MK under some real pressure.
    • 80' Hayes breaks through on the edge of the area and fires towards goal, Gueret saves! From the resulting corner the MK Dons keeper is forced to save again!
    • 79' Jude Stirling booked for a very late challenge on Thompson. Stupid.
    • 77' Llera has another opportunity from an MK Dons corner, his effort is deflected over.
    • 75' Hooper off for Scunthorpe, Thompson on.
    • 74' Togwell is booked for a high arm while challenging for a header.
    • 72' Substitution for Scunthorpe, Crosby off with a hamstring injury and Pearce comes on.
    • 70' Substitution for the Dons, Chadwick off and Baldock comes on.
    • 69' Lovely football from the MK Dons, delightful interplay from Wright and Leven sees the winger fire high and wide from an acute angle.
    • 66' Yellow card for Puncheon, late challenge from the MK striker on Crosby.
    • 64' MASSIVE chance for the Dons! Llera somehow manages to put a free header miles over from six yards!
    • 61' Morris falls very heavily on his back, he needs treatment but it looks ok.
    • 58' GOAL DISALLOWED for Scunthorpe! MK Dons give the ball away and the Iron break. Hayes deflected shot falls to Hooper who knocks it in at the far post, but he's offside!
    • 57' Both teams are going for it, taking turns to attack. Too tight to call at the moment.
    • 56' Promising attack from Scunthorpe, great break from Woolford, he has options left and right but it fizzles out to nothing.
    • 53' The Dons are taking a hold of this match. They're having a nice spell of possession at the moment. No real chances created though.
    • 50' Wilbraham is causing some problems for the Scunthorpe defence, not least for the MK goalkeeper, who he is standing in front of on every corner.
    • 48' A fairly scrappy start to the half. Neither team getting a foothold in the match.
    • 46' No changes at the break and we are underway in the second half.
    • 45' A fairly even half, although Scunthorpe have looked more dangerous in possession and will feel aggrieved about the goal.
    • 45' Three minutes of added-on time.
    • 44' Great work from Puncheon on the left, he beats two and crosses. An MK head should have been on the end of that.
    • 43' Byrne and Lewington both go for a 50/50, Byrne gets there first and crunches into the MK Dons captain, he felt that!
    • 41' Chadwick and Wright have swapped flanks. They're not getting much joy in their natural positions.
    • 39' Llera is booked for an ugly challenge.
    • 37' MK Dons are happy to soak up the pressure and hit Scunthorpe on the break, but the quality of their final ball is leaving a lot to be desired.
    • 33' Freekick from McCann, 25 yards out, left of goal. He can only smash it into the wall.
    • 29' From the replays it was definitely a Scunthorpe goal-kick and not an MK corner for the goal. Adkins will not be happy!
    • 27' GOAL for MK Dons! The Dons are awarded a controversial corner, looks like a goal kick. The ball is fired in and only half cleared. Stirling heads to Wilbraham who nods it past Murphy from a yard.
    • 26' MK Dons are trying to retain some posession, keeping the ball well.
    • 23' Wilbraham lucky not to go into the book after picking the ball up in open play. He thought it was a foul, the ref did not.
    • 19' The Dons are holding on a bit here, they're looking shaky at the back, Scunthorpe pressing forward.
    • 16' The Iron have their tails up here, Lewington blocks a Sparrow shot from 10 yards. Excellent defending.
    • 12' GOAL for Scunthorpe! Hayes cuts in from wide on the left and fires a shot at Gueret. The MK stopper can only palm to Woolford, who finishes superbly from eight yards.
    • 11' Wright has got chalk on his boots, sticking way out on the right wing. Same with Chadwick on the left, looks like the Dons are trying to stretch this Scunthorpe side.
    • 7' Hooper gets in behind the MK Dons defence, Gueret is way off his line. Hooper tries the chip but it falls into the keeper's arms.
    • 4' Both teams struggling to get hold of the ball. There are a few early nerves.
    • 2' Promising start from MK Dons, the ball is fed out to the right, but Wright's cross is awful.
    • 1' We're underway at Glanford Park. Perfect conditions for football.
    • ' Assistant manager, Andy Crosby in for Scunthrope at centre-half, only seven starts all season.
