Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Burnley FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Maxime Esteve suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Brazil international Lucas Pires has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 15' Burnley FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 18' Luca Koleosho makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Burnley FC are in front.
- 23' Leeds United FC currently sit 5 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 28' James Trafford has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 439 appearances.
- 33' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 34' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Junior Firpo on 34 minutes.
- 38' The referee has no hesitation. Hannibal Mejbri is booked for Burnley FC — card on 38.
- 43' 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.
- 45' The referee calls foul for Jaidon Anthony. He receives a card.
- 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Burnley FC that had 347 games and scored 409 goals.
- 52' It’s gonna be a card for Wilfried Gnonto.
- 57' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Burnley FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 60' That looks like a foul for a card for Ethan Ampadu.
- 65' Another change for Burnley FC made on 65 minute. Luca Koleosho leaves to be changed by Jeremy Sarmiento.
- 66' Bashir Humphreys has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 66.
- 69' The whistle greets Ethan Ampadu as he departs to be replaced by Joe Rothwell.
- 73' The whistle greets Hannibal Mejbri as he departs to be replaced by Josh Cullen.
- 78' The Leeds United FC manager makes a substitution. Junior Firpo departs to be replaced by Sam Byram.
- 83' A quiet spell here at Elland Road. Leeds United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 86' The supporters are chanting for Ao Tanaka. He replaces Joe Rodon on 86 minute.
- 90' The referee shows Burnley FC player a card on 90.
- 90' Josh Brownhill makes way for Han-Noah Massengo at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Burnley FC.
- Burnley FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
