Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Leeds United FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Joe Rodon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' 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 Ryan Hedges suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Leeds United FC is showing some good football. However, Leeds United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' It’s high time Daniel Farke made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 35' It looks surprising Leeds United FC does not make any changes. Brenden Aaronson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 38' Another substitution for Blackburn Rovers FC to replace Yuki Ohashi by Harry Leonard on 38 minute.
- 40' Blackburn Rovers FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 45' The travelling Blackburn Rovers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 46' Maximilian Wober has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sam Byram on 46 minute.
- 51' 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.
- 56' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 61' Blackburn Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
- 66' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Blackburn Rovers FC that had 382 games and scored 469 goals.
- 69' Another change for Leeds United FC made on 69 minute. Joe Rothwell leaves to be changed by Wilfried Gnonto.
- 70' Another change for Leeds United FC made on 70 minute. Joel Piroe leaves to be changed by Mateo Fernandez.
- 71' Time for substitution for Leeds United FC. Manor Solomon is replaced by Patrick Bamford.
- 76' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Aynsley Pears made 13 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 81' Amario Cozier-Duberry has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tyrhys Dolan on 81 minute.
- 86' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 88' Leeds United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Pascal Struijk on 88.
- 90' Ao Tanaka was booked on 90.
