- 0' That's the starting whistle at Oakwell Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Barnsley FC and Rotherham United FC.
- 2' A stunning finish from Carlton Morris — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 7' Another change for Rotherham United FC made on 7 minute. Viktor Johansson leaves to be changed by Jamal Blackman.
- 12' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 17' England international Michael Smith has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 22' The energy levels are beginning to show. Valerien Ismael might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 27' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mads Juel Andersen made 385 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 28' The referee calls foul for Shaun MacDonald. He receives a Yellow card.
- 33' 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.
- 38' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 43' 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 Michael Ihiekwe suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Richard Wood.
- 46' Another change for Barnsley FC made on 46 minute. Callum Styles leaves to be changed by Jordan Williams.

- 63' Callum Styles has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 65' Toby Sibbick has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 65.
- 70' Rotherham United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
- 75' Rotherham United FC is showing some good football. However, Rotherham United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 78' Florian Jozefzoon is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jamie Lindsay at the 78 minute mark.
- 83' The travelling Rotherham United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 85' The referee shows Barnsley FC player a Yellow card on 85.
- 90' Barnsley FC ring the changes. Carlton Morris has done his job and it is now time for Victor Adeboyejo to step up.
