Events

0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Leeds United FC and Blackburn Rovers FC has kicked off!
5' It’s high time Daniel Farke made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pascal Struijk made 363 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
20' 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 Brenden Aaronson suffering a number of foals already.
25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
35' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Leeds United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
38' Fresh legs for Blackburn Rovers FC! Harry Leonard comes on to replace Yuki Ohashi.
40' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Lewis Baker.
45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leeds United FC that had 363 games and scored 538 goals.
46' Leeds United FC make a change. Sam Byram trudges off to be replaced by Maximilian Wober on 46 minutes.
51' Owen Beck, a Wales , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
56' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
61' Blackburn Rovers FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
66' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
69' A tactical swap from Leeds United FC — Wilfried Gnonto on, Joe Rothwell off on 69 minutes.
70' The supporters are chanting for Mateo Fernandez. He replaces Joel Piroe on 70 minute.
71' Patrick Bamford gets the nod from Leeds United FC. He replaces Manor Solomon and will look to change the dynamic.
76' It is a cagey affair so far. Leeds United FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Blackburn Rovers FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
81' The crowd applauds Tyrhys Dolan as he leaves the pitch. Amario Cozier-Duberry steps in for Blackburn Rovers FC.
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' Magnificent from Pascal Struijk! That is 14 goals in 363 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
90' Ao Tanaka is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
Game over. The scoreline of 1-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
