Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Middlesbrough FC gets underway.
5' Dael Fry is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Middlesbrough FC so far.
7' The Denmark Mads Juel Andersen breaks the deadlock on 7 minutes. 1-0!
12' Duncan Watmore, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
16' Amine Bassi does the damage! The net is bulging and Barnsley FC surge ahead!
21' Matty Wolfe has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 385 appearances.
26' Over 26 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
31' Barnsley FC is showing some good football. However, Barnsley FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
36' Middlesbrough FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
41' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 383 games and scored 467 goals.
46' Middlesbrough FC ring the changes. James Lea Siliki has done his job and it is now time for Aaron Connolly to step up.
51' The 30-year-old Carlton Morris has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
54' A stunning finish from Amine Bassi — that came from absolutely nowhere!
59' Barnsley FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 59.
61' GOAL! Andraz Sporar fires home to make it 3-1!
62' Poor challenge from Remy Vita. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
67' 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.
68' It is a substitution in Barnsley FC team. Remy Vita is replaced by Liam Kitching on 68 minute.
69' Barnsley FC ring the changes. Amine Bassi has done his job and it is now time for Callum Brittain to step up.
72' Barnsley FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 72.
77' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
78' A tactical swap from Barnsley FC — Devante Cole on, Carlton Morris off on 78 minutes.
79' Barnsley FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
84' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Barnsley FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
89' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
Middlesbrough FC will have plenty to reflect on. Barnsley FC were simply the better side today.
