Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for AFC Bournemouth to score. At the same time, Reading FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Reading FC that had 379 games and scored 433 goals.
- 8' AFC Bournemouth is taking the lead after the goal scored by Dominic Solanke on 8.
- 13' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yakou Meite made 379 appearances and scored 47 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 18' AFC Bournemouth is showing some good football. However, AFC Bournemouth are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 23' It looks like no one’s ball. Reading FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 27' It’s a booking for AFC Bournemouth player. Todd Cantwell gets a Yellow card.
- 32' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Junior Hoilett suffering a number of foals already.
- 33' Joshua Laurent was booked on 33.
- 38' Supporters expect more eagerness from Danny Drinkwater, as he is very good at scoring at Vitality Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

- 46' Another substitution for AFC Bournemouth to replace Todd Cantwell by Jamal Lowe on 46 minute.
- 51' Jack Stacey needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 24 Yellow cards this season.
- 56' It’s high time Paul Ince made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 61' It looks surprising Reading FC does not make any changes. Jaidon Anthony has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 66' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 71' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 75' Reading FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yakou Meite is hanging Lucas Joao on the field on 75 minute.
- 76' AFC Bournemouth manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ben Pearson is hanging Lewis Cook on the field on 76 minute.
- 81' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 81 minutes.
