Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Riverside Stadium!
2' GOAL! Daniel James scores on 2. Assisted by Manor Solomon
7' A quiet spell here at Riverside Stadium. Leeds United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
12' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
17' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jayden Bogle, as he is very good at scoring at Riverside Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
22' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
27' Middlesbrough FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
32' Over 32 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
37' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
42' Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
47' Middlesbrough FC is showing some good football. However, Middlesbrough FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
52' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Middlesbrough FC and Leeds United FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
57' Both keepers have barely been tested. Middlesbrough FC and Leeds United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
62' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Junior Firpo made 349 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
66' Another change for Middlesbrough FC made on 66 minute. Kelechi Iheanacho leaves to be changed by Morgan Whittaker.
68' The crowd applauds Manor Solomon as he leaves the pitch. Wilfried Gnonto steps in for Leeds United FC.
73' Isaac Schmidt gets the nod from Leeds United FC. He replaces Daniel James and will look to change the dynamic.
74' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Aidan Morris on 74 minutes.
75' The referee has no hesitation. Sam Byram is booked for Leeds United FC — card on 75.
80' The crowd applauds Delano Burgzorg as he leaves the pitch. Marcus Forss steps in for Middlesbrough FC.
85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 383 games and scored 467 goals.
90' The whistle greets Brenden Aaronson as he departs to be replaced by Josuha Guilavogui.
0-1 the final result. Middlesbrough FC will be bitterly disappointed.
