Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Middlesbrough FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 3' George Edmundson was booked on 3.
  • 8' 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.
  • 13' 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 James Trafford suffering a number of foals already.
  • 18' Josh Cullen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 23' It’s high time Michael Carrick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 28' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.

  • 48' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 53' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. CJ Egan-Riley made 342 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 54' Josh Cullen is having his name booked by the referee on 54.
  • 59' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 64' Hayden Hackney needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 24 Yellow cards this season.
  • 67' Jeremy Sarmiento is replacing Hannibal Mejbri for the Burnley FC side.
  • 72' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
