Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Middlesbrough FC welcome Bristol City FC for this crunch clash at Riverside Stadium.
  • 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 Ashley Fletcher suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Bristol City 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.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 30' Middlesbrough FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 31' What a moment for Adam Webster! That strike on 31 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 36' Jay Dasilva is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Middlesbrough FC so far.
  • 41' George Friend has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 383 appearances.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Bristol City FC — Korey Smith on, Andreas Weimann off on 46 minutes.
  • 49' Controversy at the stadium! Adam Webster argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 52' Time for substitution for Middlesbrough FC. Ryan Shotton is replaced by Lewis Wing.
  • 57' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 57 minutes.
  • 62' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Middlesbrough FC and Bristol City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 66' That is a Yellow card for Middlesbrough FC. George Saville will be fuming at that decision.
  • 71' Korey Smith has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 76' The supporters are chanting for Lloyd Kelly. He replaces Jamie Paterson on 76 minute.
  • 81' Middlesbrough FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 83' The supporters are chanting for Jordan Hugill. He replaces Stewart Downing on 83 minute.
  • 86' A moment of madness from Jack Hunt on 86 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Bristol City FC will be frustrated.
  • 89' Nathan Baker is replacing Korey Smith for the Bristol City FC side.
  • The final score is 0-1.
