Events
Match Events

- 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Burnley FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' The travelling Middlesbrough FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Middlesbrough FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 30' Over 30 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 35' Middlesbrough FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Taylor Harwood-Bellis made 436 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Middlesbrough FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 46' A tactical swap from Middlesbrough FC — Duncan Watmore on, Marcus Forss off on 46 minutes.

- 58' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Zack Steffen.
- 60' What composure from Benson Manuel! The Belgium international strokes it home. 1-1.
- 65' 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 Darragh Lenihan suffering a number of foals already.
- 67' Magnificent from Benson Manuel! That is 24 goals in 103 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 72' Rodrigo Muniz gets the nod from Middlesbrough FC. He replaces Riley McGree and will look to change the dynamic.

- 89' The Burnley FC bench stirs into life. Jack Cork is withdrawn and Scott Twine gets his opportunity.
