Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Leicester City FC and Burton Albion FC is underway.
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' The travelling Burton Albion FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' Burton Albion FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Leicester City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 35' Corey Addai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' It looks like no one’s ball. Leicester City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 45' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 50' Kgaogelo Chauke needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 55' Alex McCarthy is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Burton Albion FC so far.
  • 60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leicester City FC that had 356 games and scored 511 goals.
  • 65' 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 Harry Souttar suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' Leicester City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
  • 75' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Burton Albion FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 80' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Admir Bristric made 183 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 90' Luke Thomas is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Burton Albion FC tonight.
  • With this win, Burton Albion FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
