Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Leicester City FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 10' 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.
  • 12' Against the run of play, James Justin has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 17' Over 17 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 22' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ricardo Pereira made 354 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 27' Both keepers have barely been tested. Leicester City FC and Sunderland AFC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 32' It’s high time Enzo Maresca made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 40' That is a Yellow card for Leicester City FC. Kelechi Iheanacho will be fuming at that decision.
  • 45' It looks surprising Sunderland AFC does not make any changes. Chris Rigg has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 50' Leicester City FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 54' Sunderland AFC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 59' Leicester City FC have won 510 goals from 354 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 64' Mason Burstow makes way for Abdoullah Ba at the 64 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sunderland AFC.
  • 65' Fresh legs for Sunderland AFC! Dennis Cirkin comes on to replace Pierre Ekwah.
  • 67' A moment of madness from James Justin on 67 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Leicester City FC will be frustrated.
  • 68' Time for substitution for Leicester City FC. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Jamie Vardy.
  • 71' A moment of madness from Dennis Cirkin on 71 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Sunderland AFC will be frustrated.
  • 72' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ricardo Pereira.
  • 74' Alex Pritchard is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jobe Bellingham at the 74 minute mark.
  • 74' Dennis Cirkin was booked on 74.
  • 79' It looks like no one’s ball. Sunderland AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 80' Marc Albrighton has so much to prove this time. He replaces Abdul Issahaku on 80 minute.
  • 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sunderland AFC that had 363 games and scored 478 goals.
  • 88' The supporters are chanting for Hamza Choudhury. He replaces James Justin on 88 minute.
  • 89' Patson Daka is ready to make an impact after coming on for Stephy Mavididi at the 89 minute mark.

  • The final score is 1-0.
