Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at MKM Stadium as Hull City AFC face off against Sunderland AFC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.

  • 10' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sunderland AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 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 Bradley Dack suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' The 23-year-old Nectarios Triantis has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sunderland AFC that had 363 games and scored 478 goals.
  • 40' 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.
  • 43' Sunderland AFC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Adil Aouchiche is hanging Bradley Dack on the field on 43 minute.
  • 48' The home supporters are growing impatient. Hull City AFC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 53' Sunderland AFC is showing some good football. However, Sunderland AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 58' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 60' Fresh legs for Hull City AFC! Jason Lokilo comes on to replace Aaron Connolly.
  • 65' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Hull City AFC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 70' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-4-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 74' The crowd applauds Patrick Roberts as he leaves the pitch. Alex Pritchard steps in for Sunderland AFC.
  • 79' Sunderland AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 79.
  • 82' What a strike from Jack Clarke! The score is 0-1.
  • 87' Tyler Morton, a England , has 1 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 88' Liam Delap picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 88' The whistle greets Scott Twine as he departs to be replaced by Harry Vaughan.
  • 89' A tactical swap from Hull City AFC — Harry Vaughan on, Scott Twine off on 89 minutes.
  • 90' A moment of madness from Nectarios Triantis on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Sunderland AFC will be frustrated.
  • Full Time. Sunderland AFC beats Hull City AFC
