Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Elland Road that hosts another battle between Leeds United FC and Blackburn Rovers FC.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Blackburn Rovers FC that had 396 games and scored 489 goals.
  • 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 15' Blackburn Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Daniel Farke will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' Ilia Gruev has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 13 cards already picked up this season.
  • 28' The referee calls foul for Hayden Carter. He receives a card.
  • 33' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-2-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 38' The travelling Blackburn Rovers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 42' Blackburn Rovers FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 46' Blackburn Rovers FC ring the changes. Scott Wharton has done his job and it is now time for Kyle McFadzean to step up.
  • 47' The referee shows Blackburn Rovers FC player a card on 47.
  • 52' 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.
  • 57' Leeds United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 62' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 62 minutes.
  • 67' Sam Byram is ready to make an impact after coming on for Connor Roberts at the 67 minute mark.
  • 68' Fresh legs for Leeds United FC! Patrick Bamford comes on to replace Ilia Gruev.
  • 73' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 78' Leeds United 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.
  • 81' Mateo Fernandez is replacing Wilfried Gnonto for the Leeds United FC side.
  • 82' Brilliant from the midfielder! Samuel Szmodics makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 82.
  • 84' Benjamin Chrisene gets the nod from Blackburn Rovers FC. He replaces Tyrhys Dolan and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 86' A meaty challenge results in booking for Aynsley Pears on 86.
  • 89' Jaidon Anthony is ready to make an impact after coming on for Junior Firpo at the 89 minute mark.
  • 90' Blackburn Rovers FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 90.
  • 90' A tactical swap from Blackburn Rovers FC — Semir Telalovic on, Samuel Szmodics off on 90 minutes.
