  • 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His AFC Wimbledon side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 9' Joe Pigott puts AFC Wimbledon on the lead.
  • 14' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Neal Ardley will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 19' The travelling Sunderland AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 24' Ben Purrington has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 29' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 34' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 39' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 43' Jack Baldwin picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 46' The whistle greets Glenn Loovens as he departs to be replaced by Alim Ozturk.
  • 51' It is a substitution in Sunderland AFC team. Max Power is replaced by Dylan McGeouch on 51 minute.
  • 56' Will Nightingale, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 58' Fresh legs for Sunderland AFC! Bryan Oviedo comes on to replace Reece James.
  • 63' AFC Wimbledon are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sunderland AFC backline.
  • 66' The England Lee Cattermole breaks the deadlock on 66 minutes. 1-1!

  • 72' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AFC Wimbledon needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 77' 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 Lynden Gooch suffering a number of foals already.
  • 82' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 83' Sunderland AFC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Lee Cattermole on 83.
