Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at iPro Stadium!
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Reading FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' It looks surprising Derby County FC does not make any changes. Mike te Wierik has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' Andy Rinomhota has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 20' The travelling Reading FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Derby County FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 30' Derby County FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
  • 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 37' Derby County FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 37.
  • 40' Magnificent from Lucas Joao! That is 62 goals in 379 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Louie Sibley on 45 minutes.
  • 46' Ovie Ejaria makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and Reading FC are in front.
  • 46' Derby County FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nathan Byrne is hanging Andre Wisdom on the field on 46 minute.
  • 47' Derby County FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 47.
  • 52' Sone Aluko has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 57' Sam Baldock has been relatively quiet despite scoring 20 goals in his last 379 appearances.
  • 62' It’s high time Phillip Cocu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 63' Wayne Rooney is ready to make an impact after coming on for Graeme Shinnie at the 63 minute mark.
  • 64' That is a Yellow card for Reading FC. Michael Olise will be fuming at that decision.
  • 65' Poor challenge from Michael Olise. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 68' A tactical swap from Reading FC — Sone Aluko on, Ovie Ejaria off on 68 minutes.
  • 73' The 34-year-old Andy Yiadom has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 78' The Reading FC bench stirs into life. John Swift is withdrawn and Sam Baldock gets his opportunity.
  • 83' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Andre Wisdom made 385 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 88' A tactical swap from Reading FC — Tom Holmes on, Michael Olise off on 88 minutes.
  • 90' Omar Richards is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-2.
