Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Elland Road!
  • 5' The home supporters are growing impatient. Leeds United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 10' Chris Basham is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Leeds United FC tonight.
  • 15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Marcelo Bielsa might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 18' George Baldock picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 23' 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 Kiko Casilla suffering a number of foals already.
  • 28' 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.
  • 33' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sheffield United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 38' It’s high time Marcelo Bielsa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 43' Ireland international Enda Stevens has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 48' Leeds United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 53' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Leeds United FC and Sheffield United FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 57' Barry Douglas is replacing Jack Harrison for the Leeds United AFC side.
  • 62' Billy Sharp is having his name booked by the referee on 62.
  • 67' Jack Harrison needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 14 Yellow cards this season.
  • 71' Chris Basham doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 76' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 77' The Leeds United AFC manager makes a substitution. Luke Ayling departs to be replaced by Stuart Dallas.
  • 82' A quiet spell here at Elland Road. Sheffield United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 87' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. John Lundstram made 370 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 88' The supporters are chanting for Kieran Dowell. He replaces David McGoldrick on 88 minute.
  • 90' That is a Red card for Leeds United AFC. Kiko Casilla will be fuming at that decision.
  • 90' Chris Basham makes way for John Lundstram at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sheffield United FC.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Leeds United FC 0-1 Sheffield United FC.
