Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Riverside Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 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 Isaiah Jones suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 15' Middlesbrough FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 20' AFC Bournemouth is showing some good football. However, AFC Bournemouth are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 40' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 43' Gary Cahill catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 43.
- 48' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marcus Tavernier made 383 appearances and scored 29 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 53' A goal from the Slovenia international Andraz Sporar! He fires home on 53 to make it 1-0!
- 57' AFC Bournemouth player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 61' Time for substitution for AFC Bournemouth. Ryan Christie is replaced by Jamal Lowe.
- 66' Poor challenge from Paddy McNair. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 71' Mark Travers needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 74' It is a substitution in Middlesbrough FC team. Duncan Watmore is replaced by Onel Hernandez on 74 minute.
- 77' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Neil Taylor on 77 minutes.

- 82' Middlesbrough FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 82.
- 86' A moment of madness from Onel Hernandez on 86 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Middlesbrough FC will be frustrated.
