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' Harry Pickering has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 6' Controversy at the stadium! Lewis Travis argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 11' England international Femi Azeez has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 16' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Neil Harris will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 21' 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 Joe Rankin-Costello suffering a number of foals already.
  • 26' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 31' The home supporters are growing impatient. Millwall FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 36' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Todd Cantwell made 368 appearances and scored 32 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 41' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 46' It looks like no one’s ball. Millwall FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 51' Millwall FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 56' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 61' Tyrhys Dolan is ready to make an impact after coming on for Amario Cozier-Duberry at the 61 minute mark.
  • 65' Another change for Millwall FC made on 65 minute. Femi Azeez leaves to be changed by Mihailo Ivanovic.
  • 66' The supporters are chanting for Owen Beck. He replaces Todd Cantwell on 66 minute.
  • 71' It is a cagey affair so far. Millwall FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Blackburn Rovers FC's compact 4-4-2.
  • 76' A change in the Blackburn Rovers FC ranks — Harry Pickering exits the field as Ryan Hedges enters on 76.
  • 77' Millwall FC ring the changes. Casper De Norre has done his job and it is now time for Ryan Wintle to step up.
  • 82' Blackburn Rovers 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.
  • 87' Millwall FC currently sit 13 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 88' Duncan Watmore gets the nod from Millwall FC. He replaces Macaulay Langstaff and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' It’s a booking for Blackburn Rovers FC player. Makhtar Gueye gets a card.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Millwall FC players.
