0' Three points are at stake. Ipswich Town FC host Sunderland AFC — let the battle begin!
5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Michael Beale will be considering his options from the bench.
15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
20' It looks surprising Ipswich Town FC does not make any changes. Aji Alese has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
24' That is a Yellow card for Ipswich Town FC. Harry Clarke will be fuming at that decision.
26' Jack Clarke does the damage! The net is bulging and Sunderland AFC surge ahead!
31' Over 31 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
33' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Kayden Jackson makes it 1-1.
38' Ipswich Town FC is showing some good football. However, Ipswich Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
43' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Ipswich Town FC and Sunderland AFC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
48' Both keepers have barely been tested. Ipswich Town FC and Sunderland AFC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
52' Controversy at the stadium! Jack Taylor argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
54' George Edmundson is having his name booked by the referee on 54.
56' It’s a booking for Sunderland AFC player. Abdoullah Ba gets a Yellow card.

68' A change in the Ipswich Town FC ranks — Kayden Jackson exits the field as Jeremy Sarmiento enters on 68.
73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pierre Ekwah made 363 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
75' Conor Chaplin has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 75 minutes.
80' The home supporters are growing impatient. Ipswich Town FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
