- 8' AFC Bournemouth is taking the lead after the goal scored by Dominic Solanke on 8.
- 13' It’s high time Paul Ince made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 18' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nathaniel Phillips made 426 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 23' Andy Rinomhota has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 46 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 27' Todd Cantwell is having his name booked by the referee on 27.
- 32' It looks like no one’s ball. Reading FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 38' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

- 66' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
