Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Blackburn Rovers FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Daniel Ayala suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Cauley Woodrow has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' It’s high time Tony Mowbray made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' It looks surprising Blackburn Rovers FC does not make any changes. Callum Brittain has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Barnsley FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 35' Ben Brereton needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 45' 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.
  • 46' William Hondermarck has so much to prove this time. He replaces Toby Sibbick on 46 minute.
  • 47' Blackburn Rovers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 47.
  • 52' The travelling Blackburn Rovers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 57' Blackburn Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 57.
  • 60' Another change for Barnsley FC made on 60 minute. Claudio Gomes leaves to be changed by Victor Adeboyejo.
  • 65' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 67' Time for substitution for Blackburn Rovers FC. Ian Carlo Poveda is replaced by Leighton Clarkson.
  • 71' Another change for Blackburn Rovers FC made on 71 minute. Joe Rothwell leaves to be changed by Tayo Edun.
  • 76' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Claudio Gomes made 436 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 81' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 86' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 86 minutes.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
