Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Bolton Wanderers FC get us underway at Kingston Communications Stadium.
- 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 10' It looks surprising Bolton Wanderers FC does not make any changes. Mark Beevers has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Hull City 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.
- 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Nigel Adkins might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 29' The deadlock is broken! Kamil Grosicki gets on the scoresheet on 29 minutes.
- 34' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 39' Stephen Kingsley has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 39.
- 44' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Chris Martin made 397 appearances and scored 54 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 46' It is a substitution in Bolton Wanderers FC team. Marc Wilson is replaced by Erhun Oztumer on 46 minute.
- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 56' Jason Lowe has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 61' 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 Gary O'Neil suffering a number of foals already.
- 62' What composure from Evandro! The Brazil international strokes it home. 2-0.
- 63' Against the run of play, Kamil Grosicki has scored! This game has turned on its head.
