9' The referee shows Derby County FC player a Yellow card on 9.
14' Derby County FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
19' Middlesbrough FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 19.
24' The energy levels are beginning to show. Liam Rosenior might look to freshen things up shortly.
29' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
33' GOAL! Britt Assombalonga scores on 33.
38' Middlesbrough FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
43' The travelling Derby County FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
46' Derby County FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Louie Sibley is hanging Martyn Waghorn on the field on 46 minute.
49' Tom Lawrence has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 49.
53' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Nathan Byrne.
58' Both keepers have barely been tested. Middlesbrough FC and Derby County FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
62' Fresh legs for Middlesbrough FC! Djed Spence comes on to replace Patrick Roberts.
63' Time for substitution for Middlesbrough FC. Duncan Watmore is replaced by Marvin Johnson.
65' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Lee Buchanan on 65 minutes.

72' Another substitution for Middlesbrough FC to replace Britt Assombalonga by Chuba Akpom on 72 minute.
74' It is a substitution in Derby County FC team. Tom Lawrence is replaced by Morgan Whittaker on 74 minute.
79' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
83' GOAL! Marvin Johnson fires home to make it 2-1!
86' Lewis Wing gets the nod from Middlesbrough FC. He replaces Marcus Tavernier and will look to change the dynamic.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Middlesbrough FC players.
