Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between England and Wales is underway.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dave Edwards made 379 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Gary Cahill has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 409 appearances.
  • 15' Joe Ledley has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' Ashley Williams is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Wales tonight.
  • 25' 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 Aaron Ramsey suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' England 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.
  • 35' The travelling Wales supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering England that had 133 games and scored 63 goals.
  • 42' The deadlock is broken! Gareth Bale gets on the scoresheet on 42 minutes.
  • 46' Fresh legs for England! Daniel Sturridge comes on to replace Raheem Sterling.
  • 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 56' The deadlock is broken! Jamie Vardy gets on the scoresheet on 56 minutes.
  • 61' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Ben Davies.
  • 66' Chris Gunter, a Wales , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 67' Dave Edwards gets the nod from Wales. He replaces Joe Ledley and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 72' Another change for Wales made on 72 minute. Hal Robson-Kanu leaves to be changed by Jonny Williams.
  • 73' The England bench stirs into life. Adam Lallana is withdrawn and Marcus Rashford gets his opportunity.
  • 78' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 83' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 88' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 90' Sensational shot from Daniel Sturridge. England is back in the lead.
  • England celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
