Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Millwall FC to score. At the same time, Blackburn Rovers FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Millwall FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Blackburn Rovers FC backline.
- 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 15' Blackburn Rovers FC is showing some good football. However, Blackburn Rovers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' Blackburn Rovers FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Blackburn Rovers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Millwall FC and Blackburn Rovers FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 35' Blackburn Rovers FC have won 469 goals from 382 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
