- 0' Welcome to The MKM Stadium that hosts another battle between Hull City AFC and Reading FC.
- 5' Allahyar Sayyadmanesh is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Reading FC tonight.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Reading FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Reading FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' 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 Lucas Joao suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 35' Hull City AFC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 40' GOAL! Keane Lewis-Potter fires home to make it 1-0!
- 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. Hull City AFC and Reading FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 50' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 53' GOAL! Alfie Jones scores on 53.
- 57' Tom Dele-Bashiru makes way for Ovie Ejaria at the 57 minute mark. A tactical switch from Reading FC.
- 59' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jacob Greaves.
- 64' With 0 assists to his name this season, Nathan Baxter is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Hull City AFC.
- 69' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Orjan Nyland made 368 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 73' The referee shows Reading FC player a Yellow card on 73.
- 77' The crowd applauds Allahyar Sayyadmanesh as he leaves the pitch. Tom Eaves steps in for Hull City AFC.
- 82' A change in the Hull City AFC ranks — Lewie Coyle exits the field as Ryan Longman enters on 82.
- 85' Yakou Meite gets the nod from Reading FC. He replaces Tom Ince and will look to change the dynamic.
- 86' Nathan Baxter was booked on 86.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Hull City AFC players.
