Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Hull City AFC and Norwich City FC has kicked off!
- 5' It’s high time Philippe Clement made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Norwich City 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.
- 15' The travelling Norwich City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 26' Goal! Mohamed Toure scores his 11 goal in 233 matches.
- 28' Goal! Oliver McBurnie scores his 66 goal in 383 matches.
- 33' Vladan Kovacevic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 35' Norwich City FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 35.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryan John Giles made 343 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Hull City AFC that had 380 games and scored 430 goals.
- 55' It looks like no one’s ball. Norwich City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 60' Norwich City FC is showing some good football. However, Norwich City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 65' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ivor Pandur, as he is very good at scoring at The MKM Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 67' GOAL! Oliver McBurnie scores on 67. Assisted by Matt Crooks
- 71' Hull City AFC player sees a card in front of him.
- 76' 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 Matt Crooks suffering a number of foals already.
- 81' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 81 minutes.
- 86' Hull City AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 90' Matt Crooks was booked on 90.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Hull City AFC players.
