Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Kenilworth Road will turn into a battlefield for Luton Town FC and Sunderland AFC.
  • 5' 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 Joe Taylor suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' It’s high time Regis Le Bris made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' The travelling Sunderland AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' Luton Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.

  • 29' The referee calls foul for Chris Rigg. He receives a card.
  • 34' It looks like no one’s ball. Sunderland AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 39' It looks surprising Sunderland AFC does not make any changes. Aaron Connolly has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 44' 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.

  • 54' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 60' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 60 minutes.
  • 63' What a strike from Elijah Adebayo! The score is 1-1.
  • 66' Goal! Romaine Mundle scores his 6 goal in 385 matches.

  • 73' A meaty challenge results in booking for Anthony Patterson on 73.
