Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Middlesbrough FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 7' It’s a booking for Blackpool FC player. James Husband gets a Yellow card.
- 12' It looks like no one’s ball. Blackpool FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' Goal! Isaiah Jones scores his 14 goal in 251 matches.
- 20' Rodrigo Muniz has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 21 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' 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.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 34' The referee calls foul for Dominic Thompson. He receives a Yellow card.
- 39' The travelling Middlesbrough FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 44' Blackpool 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.
- 47' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Chris Maxwell.
- 48' GOAL! Marcus Forss scores on 48.
- 52' Blackpool FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 52.
- 54' The whistle greets James Husband as he departs to be replaced by Rhys Williams.
- 59' 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 Ryan John Giles suffering a number of foals already.
- 63' It is a substitution in Middlesbrough FC team. Marcus Forss is replaced by Matty Crooks on 63 minute.
- 64' Time for substitution for Blackpool FC. Gary Madine is replaced by Shayne Lavery.
- 65' GOAL! Chuba Akpom scores on 65.
- 70' 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.
- 73' It is a substitution in Middlesbrough FC team. Chuba Akpom is replaced by Rodrigo Muniz on 73 minute.
- 78' It looks surprising Blackpool FC does not make any changes. Sonny Carey has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 79' Time for substitution for Blackpool FC. Charlie Patino is replaced by Callum Wright.
- 83' Time for substitution for Middlesbrough FC. Riley McGree is replaced by Matthew Hoppe.
- 84' The supporters are chanting for Alex Mowatt. He replaces Jonathan Howson on 84 minute.
- 89' Blackpool FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 90' The referee calls foul for Hayden Hackney. He receives a Yellow card.
- The final score is 0-3.
