Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Riverside Stadium!
- 5' A quiet spell here at Riverside Stadium. Middlesbrough FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Middlesbrough FC winning 100% of all matches.
- 15' Queens Park Rangers FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' Queens Park Rangers FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 25' With 0 assists to his name this season, Marvin Johnson is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Middlesbrough FC.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 32' Magnificent from Jordan Hugill! That is 43 goals in 388 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 35' A change in the Queens Park Rangers FC ranks — Jordan Hugill exits the field as Ilias Chair enters on 35.
- 38' The referee has no hesitation. Marvin Johnson is booked for Middlesbrough FC — Yellow card on 38.
- 43' Yoann Barbet needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 48' The 33-year-old Ravel Morrison has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 51' The referee calls foul for George Saville. He receives a Yellow card.
- 56' The home supporters are growing impatient. Middlesbrough FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 61' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 61 minutes.
- 65' The supporters are chanting for Lewis Wing. He replaces George Saville on 65 minute.
- 66' Ravel Morrison makes way for Paddy McNair at the 66 minute mark. A tactical switch from Middlesbrough FC.
- 70' Queens Park Rangers FC make a change. Eberechi Eze trudges off to be replaced by Aramide Oteh on 70 minutes.
- 75' Over 75 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 80' Middlesbrough FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hayden Coulson is hanging Marvin Johnson on the field on 80 minute.
- 85' 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 Osman Kakay suffering a number of foals already.
- 89' Britt Assombalonga has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 89.
- Queens Park Rangers FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
