Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Sheffield Wednesday FC kicks off things out of here…
5' It looks like no one’s ball. Sheffield Wednesday FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
10' 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.
11' Morgan Whittaker puts Middlesbrough FC on the lead.
16' 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.
21' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 21 minutes.
26' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
30' The referee calls foul for Morgan Whittaker. He receives a card.
35' Middlesbrough FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

45' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Middlesbrough FC winning 100% of all matches.

52' The referee calls foul for Adilson Malanda. He receives a card.
57' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
60' Another change for Middlesbrough FC made on 60 minute. Morgan Whittaker leaves to be changed by Jeremy Sarmiento.
62' Nathaniel Chalobah is replacing Marvelous Nakamba for the Sheffield Wednesday FC side.
67' Marvelous Nakamba has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 52 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
68' The Sheffield Wednesday FC manager makes a substitution. Jarvis Thornton departs to be replaced by Will Grainger.
70' It’s gonna be a card for Max Lowe.
75' Supporters expect more eagerness from Luke Ayling, as he is very good at scoring at Riverside Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

83' It is a substitution in Sheffield Wednesday FC team. Jerry Yates is replaced by Olaf Kobacki on 83 minute.
