7:33pm Wednesday 28th July 2010 in Sport By Marc Iles
KICK OFF
1mins: Knight makes a poor challenge on Feeney. Oldham waste the free-kick, but a shaky start for the Whites.
3mins: Brooke curls an effort wide for Oldham, having exchanged passes with Alessandra.
5mins: Good challenge from Muamba in the middle, and the ball breaks to Taylor, who lashes a left-footed shot saved low by Dean Brill.
7mins: Holden's inswinging corner headed over the top by Joey O'Brien - that must be the Irishman's first shot in about three years!
12mins: Lots of kicking practise for Jaaskelainen, as Oldham put Wanderers' back line under plenty of pressure in the early stages. Typical pre-season stuff so far.
22mins: Really struggling for stuff to write here folks - very little in the way of goalmouth action, but Muamba and Feeney have just clashed in midfield forcing the Northern Irishman off the pitch.
GOAL 26mins: Oldham open the scoring, with substitute Tom Eaves drilling a low shot across the face of goal and into the bottom corner. He had only been on the pitch for about two minutes.
32mins: Jaaskelainen gets himself in a tangle with Eaves in the corner after trying to usher the ball out of play. He eventually gave away a throw, but not without some degree of messing about.
38mins: Petrov smashes a free kick just over the crossbar. It's the closest Wanderers have got so far.
GOAL 42mins: Eaves has scored a second. Played through by Hazell, it looked as if the chance had gone for the youngster as O'Brien and Cahill got back at him. But he steadied himself well to place the ball past Jaaskelainen.
43mins: O'Brien tries his luck again - well wide this time.
HALF TIME
46mins: Elmander, Steinsson and Mark Davies on for Holden, Ricketts and O'Brien.
GOAL 55mins: It's Eaves again! Alessandra's great run through the middle, gave Brooke the chance to lay off to the Liverpudlian youngster and he completes his hat-trick.
58mins: I know its a friendly, but this is dire from Wanderers. Brooke has just had a decent chance to score a fourth for Oldham after a mix-up between Knight and Jaaskelainen.
68mins: Things getting rather heated at present. Both Cahill and Kev Davies have lost their rag in the last few moments.
74mins: Getting a little desperate now. Chung-Yong's corner is volleyed over the bar by Elmander.
79mins: Chung-Yong volleys Petrov's cross wide when he should have headed the ball. Best chance for the Whites so far.
84mins: Petrov smashes a shot against the bar - great effort from the Bulgarian.
88mins: Elmander brings a good save out of Brill at his near post. Too little too late for Wanderers.
