Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Ipswich Town FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Steve Bruce will be considering his options from the bench.
- 10' Teddy Bishop needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 13 Yellow cards this season.
- 15' 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.
- 20' England international Josh Onomah has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Ipswich Town FC and Sheffield Wednesday FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 30' Steven Fletcher has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 35' Lucas Joao, a Portugal forward, has 8 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 40' Ipswich Town 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.
- 45' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Ipswich Town FC and Sheffield Wednesday FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 50' 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 Matthew Pennington suffering a number of foals already.
- 54' Sheffield Wednesday FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 54.
- 55' Another substitution for Ipswich Town FC to replace Collin Quaner by Will Keane on 55 minute.

- 74' It is a substitution in Ipswich Town FC team. Teddy Bishop is replaced by Trevoh Chalobah on 74 minute.
- 79' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 84' With 0 assists to his name this season, Barry Bannan is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Ipswich Town FC.
- 86' Sheffield Wednesday FC ring the changes. Fernando Forestieri has done his job and it is now time for Rolando Aarons to step up.
- 90' Lucas Joao doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 90' The Ipswich Town FC bench stirs into life. Flynn Downes is withdrawn and Ellis Harrison gets his opportunity.
