Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Middlesbrough FC gets underway.
  • 5' It looks surprising Derby County FC does not make any changes. Finn Azaz has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Middlesbrough FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 19' That looks like a foul for a card for Thomas Barkhuizen.
  • 24' Kenzo Goudmijn is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Derby County FC so far.
  • 29' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 34' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Derby County FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 397 games and scored 498 goals.
  • 44' Middlesbrough FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 49' Middlesbrough FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Derby County FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 54' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 59' 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.
  • 62' A change in the Middlesbrough FC ranks — Luke Ayling exits the field as Ryan John Giles enters on 62.
  • 65' A tactical swap from Derby County FC — Liam Thompson on, Thomas Barkhuizen off on 65 minutes.
  • 70' A quiet spell here at Riverside Stadium. Derby County FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 72' The whistle greets Marcus Forss as he departs to be replaced by Kelechi Iheanacho.
  • 76' The whistle greets Jerry Yates as he departs to be replaced by Lars-Jorgen Salvesen.
  • 80' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Finn Azaz makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 81' Finn Azaz picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

  • 89' Middlesbrough FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Derby County FC backline.
  • 90' Craig Forsyth was booked on 90.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Middlesbrough FC and Derby County FC (для сухой ничьи).
