Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at . Ninety minutes of football awaits between Hull City AFC and Wigan Athletic FC.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 8' Chey Dunkley makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Wigan Athletic FC are in front.
- 10' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jarrod Bowen makes it 1-1.
- 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 19' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Nathan Byrne.
- 20' Kamil Grosicki doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 23' Sam Morsy catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 23.
- 28' Wigan Athletic FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 28.
- 33' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Wigan Athletic FC that had 395 games and scored 419 goals.
- 38' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 43' Both keepers have barely been tested. Hull City AFC and Wigan Athletic FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 48' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 48 minutes.
- 53' Callum Elder is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Hull City AFC so far.
- 58' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.

- 80' 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 David Marshall suffering a number of foals already.
- 83' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Joe Garner on 83 minutes.
