Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Riverside Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Middlesbrough FC and Millwall FC.
  • 5' Anthony Patterson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 41 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Middlesbrough FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 13' It’s gonna be a card for Jake Cooper.
  • 18' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 23' Supporters expect more eagerness from Solomon Brynn, as he is very good at scoring at Riverside Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 26' Dael Fry puts Middlesbrough FC on the lead.
  • 31' 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.
  • 36' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Millwall FC that had 382 games and scored 401 goals.
  • 41' Millwall FC is showing some good football. However, Millwall FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 46' Billy Mitchell needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 56' 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 Alan Browne suffering a number of foals already.
  • 58' GOAL! Josh Coburn scores on 58. Assisted by Mihailo Ivanovic
  • 63' Millwall FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Josh Coburn scoring 2 goals.
  • 64' The supporters are chanting for Barry Bannan. He replaces Casper De Norre on 64 minute.
  • 69' 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.
  • 74' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Adilson Malanda made 340 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 78' Another change for Middlesbrough FC made on 78 minute. Matt Targett leaves to be changed by Alex Bangura.
  • 83' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 85' Another substitution for Millwall FC to replace Mihailo Ivanovic by Macaulay Langstaff on 85 minute.
  • 86' Josh Coburn puts Millwall FC on the lead.
  • 89' Time for substitution for Middlesbrough FC. Callum Brittain is replaced by Jeremy Sarmiento.
  • 90' It is a substitution in Millwall FC team. Billy Mitchell is replaced by Luke Cundle on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
