Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Fulham FC gets underway.
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mark Bowen might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Fulham FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 14' John Swift makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Reading FC are in front.
  • 19' The whistle greets Harrison Reed as he departs to be replaced by Matt O'Riley.
  • 24' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 29' Reading FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 34' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 39' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 44' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Joe Bryan.
  • 48' Charlie Adam has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 48 minutes.
  • 53' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Scott Parker will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 57' Joe Bryan makes way for Ivan Cavaleiro at the 57 minute mark. A tactical switch from Fulham FC.
  • 61' GOAL! Ivan Cavaleiro fires home to make it 1-2!
  • 62' Controversy at the stadium! Ivan Cavaleiro argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 63' The whistle greets Charlie Adam as he departs to be replaced by Andy Rinomhota.
  • 68' Poor challenge from Pele. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 68' Reading FC make a change. Yakou Meite trudges off to be replaced by Matt Miazga on 68 minutes.
  • 73' Aleksandar Mitrovic has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 73.
  • 76' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Lucas Joao.
  • 81' With 0 assists to his name this season, Tim Ream is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Reading FC.
  • 83' The Fulham FC manager makes a substitution. Matt O'Riley departs to be replaced by Luca de la Torre.
  • 84' Sam Baldock gets the nod from Reading FC. He replaces Lucas Joao and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 89' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Fulham FC that had 341 games and scored 451 goals.
  • 90' Fulham FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
  • 1-2 the final result. Fulham FC will be bitterly disappointed.
