Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Ipswich Town FC gets underway.
- 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 10' It’s high time Tony Pulis made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 12' Magnificent from Muhamed Besic! That is 3 goals in 383 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 16' Stewart Downing adds to his 0 season tally! Middlesbrough FC lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
- 21' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Ipswich Town FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 26' Jonas Knudsen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 31' Saint Lucia international Janoi Donacien has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 36' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Ipswich Town FC and Middlesbrough FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 41' Britt Assombalonga, a DR Congo , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 46' Gwion Edwards is replacing Jordan Graham for the Ipswich Town FC side.
- 51' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ryan Shotton is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Ipswich Town FC.
- 56' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 383 games and scored 467 goals.
- 65' The crowd applauds Jordan Hugill as he leaves the pitch. Britt Assombalonga steps in for Middlesbrough FC.
- 69' A tactical swap from Middlesbrough FC — Paddy McNair on, Martin Braithwaite off on 69 minutes.
- 74' It looks surprising Middlesbrough FC does not make any changes. Paddy McNair has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 76' Ipswich Town FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Andre Dozzell is hanging Jon Nolan on the field on 76 minute.
- 81' 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.
- 82' Another substitution for Middlesbrough FC to replace Muhamed Besic by Sam McQueen on 82 minute.
- 87' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- Game over. The scoreline of 0-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
