Final score
West Ham United and Charlton Athletic drew 0-0 on Sunday, April 2, 2006 at Boleyn Ground.
Play by play
- 93'
A mid-table, end of season piece of drudgery. Charlton defended well to keep West Ham out but West Ham did enough to win the game. Both teams can be forgiven for having one eye on their forthcoming FA Cup games. If Charlton do make it past Middlesbrough then let's hope these two can serve up more in the way of incident the next time they meet.
- 93'
FULL TIME
- 92'
Benayoun gets his head to the ball but fails to direct it goalwards under pressure from Spector. Goal kick to Charlton.
- 92'
Konchesky's ball is well blocked by Spector and the last act of the game will be a West Ham corner.
- 90'
Some good play again by Etherington and Benayoun is halted when Kishishev puts in a fine challenge. Kishishev has probably been man of the match today.
- 90'
Three minutes of time to be added on.
- 89'
Nothing is happening. Honestly.
- 87'
Sheringham has just been pulled up for a foul throw. Showing his inexperience there.
- 84'
Jay Bothroyd is on for Marcus Bent and Marlon Harewood is replaced by Yaniv Katan.
- 84'
West Ham are applying some late pressure here and seem to smell blood. Konchesky floats a delightful ball towards the head of Bobby Zamora but he just fails to get to it.
- 82'
Some fine play from Harewood who beats Chris Powell but his cross is blocked and West Ham have another corner. Tha ball comes over and Myhre makes a wonderful instinctive save from Sheringham who connects from four yards out. Fine play from Chartlon's keeper.
- 81'
The corner is only cleared as far as Etherington who is well challenged by Jonathan Spector on the left hand side.
- 80'
Konchesky reads Charlton's quick free kick well and gets it up the park where (guess what?) Charlton have conceded yet another corner.
- 78'
Good defending from Kishishev stops Etherington's cross but it is another corner for West Ham. With almost his first touch, Zamora nearly scores. His towering header is stopped on the line by Kishishev once more. Best chance of the game so far. Charlton's defence have played well today.
- 76'
Collins mishits a ball to allow Charlton in behind the West Ham defence but the visitors waste the opportunity when they send a poor ball in to the West Ham penalty area.
- 75'
Bobby Zamora comes on for West Ham and Reo-Coker is off. Sheringham has been handed the captain's armband.
- 73'
West Ham are fortunate to have been awarded a throw in deep in Charlton territory but they do not take advantage of the referee's generosity.
- 72'
A poor effort from Holland goes well wide of the West Ham goal.
- 70'
Perry, under pressure from Reo-Coker, hits the ball behind for another corner. Marcus Bent makes a hash of the clearance and Benayoun fashions a chance for himself and spins round before hitting a low drive towards the goal. His effort is just wide of the post.
- 69'
Bryan Hughes appears to have moved in to the middle of the park next to Matt Holland to accommodate this substitution.
- 69'
Jerome Thomas is on and Dennis Rommedahl has been taken off.
- 68'
Hughes challenges Etherington to concede yet anothr corner. Benayoun's corner is nodded away by the Charlton defence and the Israeli is then blown up for being offside.
- 66'
A good Charlton move involving Chris Powell, Matt Holland and Rommedahl is spoiled by Rommedahl's overhit final pass. Charlton at least have a corner but when the ball comes in they fail to trouble Shaka Hislop.
- 65'
Etherington gets behind the Charlton defence but his cross towards Sheringham is hit just too hard.
- 64'
Matt Holland gets forward and controls well under pressure before his snap shot is hit wide of the West Ham post.
