Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Riverside Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Middlesbrough FC and Swansea City AFC.
5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Chris Wilder will be considering his options from the bench.
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.
15' It’s high time Russell Martin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
20' Joel Piroe has been relatively quiet despite scoring 83 goals in his last 436 appearances.
25' It looks like no one’s ball. Middlesbrough FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
26' Isaiah Jones adds to his 0 season tally! Middlesbrough FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
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 midfield battle is intense right now. Both Middlesbrough FC and Swansea City AFC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
41' 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 Ben Hamer suffering a number of foals already.
45' It’s a booking for Swansea City AFC player. Jamie Paterson gets a Yellow card.
46' The whistle greets Korey Smith as he departs to be replaced by Jules Ntcham.
51' With 0 assists to his name this season, Marcus Tavernier is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Swansea City AFC.
56' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Middlesbrough FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
61' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
66' Both keepers have barely been tested. Middlesbrough FC and Swansea City AFC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
67' The supporters are chanting for Michael Obafemi. He replaces Rhys Williams on 67 minute.
70' Middlesbrough FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
72' It is a substitution in Middlesbrough FC team. Duncan Watmore is replaced by Onel Hernandez on 72 minute.
73' Another substitution for Middlesbrough FC to replace Andraz Sporar by Uche Ikpeazu on 73 minute.
78' Time for substitution for Swansea City AFC. Ethan Laird is replaced by Joel Latibeaudiere.
83' Middlesbrough FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Swansea City AFC's shape.
88' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
90' A tactical swap from Middlesbrough FC — Dael Fry on, Anfernee Dijksteel off on 90 minutes.
The referee brings this contest to a close. Middlesbrough FC take all three points.
