Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at John Smith's Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' 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 Murray Wallace suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The travelling Reading FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Huddersfield Town AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' Huddersfield Town AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 24' The referee shows Reading FC player a card on 24.
  • 29' It looks like no one’s ball. Reading FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 34' Reading FC 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.
  • 39' Cameron Humphreys needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 44' GOAL! Lewis Wing scores on 44.
  • 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Charlie Savage on 45.
  • 50' Huddersfield Town AFC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Lasse Sorensen scoring 1 goals.
  • 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Liam Fraser made 280 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 59' David Kasumu is replacing Alfie May for the Huddersfield Town AFC side.
  • 63' Another substitution for Huddersfield Town AFC to replace Radinio Balker by Josh Feeney on 63 minute.
  • 66' The referee shows Reading FC player a card on 66.
  • 69' Reading FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 69.
  • 74' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marcus Harness, as he is very good at scoring at John Smith's Stadium with 3 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 76' Lasse Sorensen is replacing Lynden Gooch for the Huddersfield Town AFC side.
  • 77' Another substitution for Reading FC to replace Daniel Kankam Kyerewaa by Haydon Roberts on 77 minute.
  • 81' Jon Stead was booked on 81.
  • 83' The supporters are chanting for Paddy Lane. He replaces Jeriel Dorsett on 83 minute.
  • 84' George Sebine is having his name booked by the referee on 84.
  • 89' Reading FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
