Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Luton Town FC and Middlesbrough FC has kicked off!
  • 5' It looks surprising Luton Town FC does not make any changes. Sam Nombe has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. George Saville made 383 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Middlesbrough FC is showing some good football. However, Middlesbrough FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 19' Glen Rea doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 21' Duncan Watmore has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 21 minutes.
  • 26' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Luton Town FC and Middlesbrough FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 31' Marc Bola has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 36' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 41' Jordan Archer has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 382 appearances.
  • 46' Middlesbrough FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 51' Over 51 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 56' The energy levels are beginning to show. Neil Warnock might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 61' Pelly Ruddock has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 66' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 71' Luton Town FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 73' George Moncur gets the nod from Luton Town FC. He replaces Harry Cornick and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 80' Middlesbrough FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 83' The supporters are chanting for Sam Nombe. He replaces James Collins on 83 minute.
  • 88' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 383 games and scored 467 goals.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
