Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Bolton Wanderers FC is hosting West Bromwich Albion FC for another epic battle.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Hal Robson-Kanu, as he is very good at scoring at Macron Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Clayton Donaldson made 318 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 19' What a strike from Jay Rodriguez! The score is 0-1.
- 24' 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 Dwight Gayle suffering a number of foals already.
- 26' The supporters are chanting for Sam Field. He replaces Chris Brunt on 26 minute.
- 31' West Bromwich Albion FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 31.

- 50' It looks surprising West Bromwich Albion FC does not make any changes. Pawel Olkowski has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 55' Gary O'Neil needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 9 Yellow cards this season.
- 60' 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.
