Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Millwall FC and Middlesbrough FC is underway.
- 5' 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.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 388 games and scored 475 goals.
- 12' Aiden O'Brien puts Millwall FC on the lead.
- 17' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Neil Harris will be considering his options from the bench.
- 22' Middlesbrough FC is showing some good football. However, Middlesbrough FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 27' Both keepers have barely been tested. Millwall FC and Middlesbrough FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 28' Adam Clayton is having his name booked by the referee on 28.
- 33' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 37' Magnificent from Lee Gregory! That is 64 goals in 387 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 42' It looks like no one’s ball. Middlesbrough FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 47' 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 Ryan Shotton suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' Wales international Steve Morison has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 56' The referee has no hesitation. Lewis Wing is booked for Middlesbrough FC — Yellow card on 56.
- 56' The Middlesbrough FC bench stirs into life. Grant Leadbitter is withdrawn and Lewis Wing gets his opportunity.
- 59' A change in the Middlesbrough FC ranks — Adam Clayton exits the field as Marcus Tavernier enters on 59.
- 63' It’s a booking for Millwall FC player. Jed Wallace gets a Yellow card.
- 68' Middlesbrough FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 73' Britt Assombalonga is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Middlesbrough FC tonight.
- 74' Another change for Middlesbrough FC made on 74 minute. Stewart Downing leaves to be changed by Ashley Fletcher.
- 79' 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.
- 81' The supporters are chanting for Tom Elliott. He replaces Lee Gregory on 81 minute.
- 86' The crowd applauds Aiden O'Brien as he leaves the pitch. Jiri Skalak steps in for Millwall FC.
- 87' The Denmark Martin Braithwaite breaks the deadlock on 87 minutes. 2-1!
- 90' George Friend doubles the advantage! 2-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 90' It’s a booking for Millwall FC player. Shaun Hutchinson gets a Yellow card.
