Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Ashton Gate. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Bristol City FC and Middlesbrough FC.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Middlesbrough FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 7' A stunning finish from Andreas Weimann — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 9' Joe Williams was booked on 9.
  • 14' Over 14 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 17' Controversy at the stadium! Matty Crooks argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 22' Dael Fry has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 27' Bristol City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Middlesbrough FC backline.
  • 32' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 37' The home supporters are growing impatient. Bristol City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 40' Bristol City FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 45' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 50' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 53' Riley McGree is replacing Neil Taylor for the Middlesbrough FC side.
  • 58' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Bristol City FC and Middlesbrough FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 63' 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.
  • 68' GOAL! Antoine Semenyo scores on 68.
  • 73' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 78' Joe Lumley has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 83' Middlesbrough FC is showing some good football. However, Middlesbrough FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 88' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 90' What a moment for Matty Crooks! That strike on 90 puts his side firmly in control.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
