7' Leeds United FC come into this ranked 3 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
12' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Leeds United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
17' Samuel Iling-Junior has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 16 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
22' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
27' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
32' Leeds United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
37' Leeds United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Karl Darlow made 347 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
47' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
52' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

62' Leeds United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
66' The Middlesbrough FC bench stirs into life. Kelechi Iheanacho is withdrawn and Morgan Whittaker gets his opportunity.
68' The whistle greets Manor Solomon as he departs to be replaced by Wilfried Gnonto.
73' Isaac Schmidt is replacing Daniel James for the Leeds United FC side.
74' Aidan Morris has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 74.
75' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sam Byram on 75.
80' Fresh legs for Middlesbrough FC! Marcus Forss comes on to replace Delano Burgzorg.
85' Italy international Wilfried Gnonto has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
90' Time for substitution for Leeds United FC. Brenden Aaronson is replaced by Josuha Guilavogui.
