Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at The MKM Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Hull City AFC and Middlesbrough FC.
  • 5' Alfie Jones has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 7' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Marcus Tavernier.
  • 12' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Josh Emmanuel made 330 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 17' Supporters expect more eagerness from Andy Cannon, as he is very good at scoring at The MKM Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 22' 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.
  • 27' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Hull City AFC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 32' Both keepers have barely been tested. Hull City AFC and Middlesbrough FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 37' It is a cagey affair so far. Hull City AFC in their trying to find a way past Middlesbrough FC's compact .
  • 42' Alfie Jones makes way for Sean McLoughlin at the 42 minute mark. A tactical switch from Hull City AFC.
  • 47' The home supporters are growing impatient. Hull City AFC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 52' Hull City AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 52.
  • 57' 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 Paddy McNair suffering a number of foals already.
  • 58' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Lee Peltier.
  • 60' The Hull City AFC manager makes a substitution. George Moncur departs to be replaced by Greg Docherty.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 398 games and scored 498 goals.
  • 69' A change in the Hull City AFC ranks — Tyler Smith exits the field as Mallik Wilks enters on 69.
  • 74' A quiet spell here at The MKM Stadium. Hull City AFC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 78' Controversy at the stadium! Paddy McNair argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 80' Uche Ikpeazu gets the nod from Middlesbrough FC. He replaces Dael Fry and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 81' Joe Lumley doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 84' The whistle greets Duncan Watmore as he departs to be replaced by Isaiah Jones.
  • 85' The Middlesbrough FC bench stirs into life. Duncan Watmore is withdrawn and Isaiah Jones gets his opportunity.
