Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Leeds United FC host Middlesbrough FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' Isaac Schmidt needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' Leeds United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Middlesbrough FC backline.
- 14' What a strike from Wilfried Gnonto! The score is 1-0.
- 19' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 24' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 29' The 23-year-old Mateo Fernandez has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 34' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 34 minutes.
- 39' 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 Tommy Conway suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Leeds United FC and Middlesbrough FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 49' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 54' Magnificent from Maximilian Wober! That is 8 goals in 490 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 59' It looks like no one’s ball. Leeds United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 64' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leeds United FC that had 366 games and scored 540 goals.
- 69' The Leeds United FC bench stirs into life. Wilfried Gnonto is withdrawn and Joel Piroe gets his opportunity.
- 71' That is a card for Middlesbrough FC. George Edmundson will be fuming at that decision.
- 74' Daniel James makes no mistake. The score reads 3-0 and Leeds United FC are in front.
- 79' 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.
- 80' Anfernee Dijksteel has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 80.
- 81' Time for substitution for Middlesbrough FC. Riley McGree is replaced by Delano Burgzorg.
- 82' A change in the Middlesbrough FC ranks — Finn Azaz exits the field as Tommy Conway enters on 82.
- 85' A tactical swap from Leeds United FC — Ethan Ampadu on, Sam Byram off on 85 minutes.
- 89' The referee shows Leeds United FC player a card on 89.
- 90' A tactical swap from Leeds United FC — Isaac Schmidt on, Daniel James off on 90 minutes.
- The final score is 3-1.
