Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds MKM Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Hull City AFC and Southampton FC.
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Hull City AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' Hull City AFC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Hull City AFC and Southampton FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 20' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. William Smallbone makes it 0-1.
  • 25' Liam Delap adds to his 1 season tally! Hull City AFC lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 30' Hull City AFC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Southampton FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 39' The referee calls foul for Ryan Manning. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 44' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 45' The referee shows Hull City AFC player a Yellow card on 45.
  • 46' That is a Yellow card for Hull City AFC. Cyrus Christie will be fuming at that decision.
  • 48' Carlos Alcaraz has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 48.
  • 52' Tyler Morton is having his name booked by the referee on 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 Kyle Walker-Peters suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 65' A change in the Hull City AFC ranks — Cyrus Christie exits the field as Lewie Coyle enters on 65.
  • 70' The Southampton FC bench stirs into life. Kamal Deen Sulemana is withdrawn and Samuel Edozie gets his opportunity.
  • 75' It looks surprising Southampton FC does not make any changes. Cyrus Christie has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 76' It is a substitution in Hull City AFC team. Jason Lokilo is replaced by Aaron Connolly on 76 minute.
  • 81' Southampton FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 82' Fresh legs for Hull City AFC! Allahyar Sayyadmanesh comes on to replace Liam Delap.
  • 84' A tactical swap from Southampton FC — Ryan Fraser on, Stuart Armstrong off on 84 minutes.
  • 88' The whistle greets Adam Armstrong as he departs to be replaced by Sekou Mara.
  • 89' The referee shows Hull City AFC player a Yellow card on 89.
  • 90' The referee has no hesitation. Ryan Fraser is booked for Southampton FC — Yellow card on 90.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
