Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Millwall FC get us underway at Ewood Park.
- 5' Millwall FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Blackburn Rovers FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Blackburn Rovers FC and Millwall FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 20' Dan McNamara has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 6 appearances.
- 25' Kyle McFadzean has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 30' 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 Dominic Hyam suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Blackburn Rovers FC and Millwall FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 36' Controversy at the stadium! Japhet Tanganga argues furiously but the card stands.

- 59' Sweden international Leopold Wahlstedt has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

- 63' The Ireland midfielder Samuel Szmodics breaks the deadlock on 63 minutes. 1-1!
- 68' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Blackburn Rovers FC that had 382 games and scored 469 goals.
- 73' It looks surprising Blackburn Rovers FC does not make any changes. Brooke Norton-Cuffy has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 74' Another substitution for Millwall FC to replace Dan McNamara by Joe Bryan on 74 minute.
