- 0' In just a few seconds Everton Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Everton FC and Sunderland AFC.
- 5' Sunderland AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sunderland AFC that had 363 games and scored 478 goals.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Everton FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' Brian Brobbey needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 18 Yellow cards this season.
- 25' That looks like a foul for a card for Tim Iroegbunam.
- 30' It looks surprising Everton FC does not make any changes. Nilson Angulo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 40' 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 Michael Keane suffering a number of foals already.
- 43' Goal! Merlin Rohl scores his 4 goal in 169 matches.
- 47' It’s a booking for Everton FC player. Jake O'Brien gets a card.
- 52' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 3 times this season with Sunderland AFC winning 66.67% of all matches.
- 57' Sunderland AFC 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.
- 59' What an equalizer from Brian Brobbey!
- 64' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. James Garner made 409 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 69' The travelling Sunderland AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 74' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 79' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
