- 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?

- 35' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. George Friend made 387 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' Millwall 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.

- 55' Jed Wallace has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 70' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for George Saville.
- 75' 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.
- 77' Marcus Tavernier gets the nod from Middlesbrough FC. He replaces Britt Assombalonga and will look to change the dynamic.
- 82' The Middlesbrough FC manager makes a substitution. Paddy McNair departs to be replaced by Adam Clayton.
- 83' A change in the Middlesbrough FC ranks — Djed Spence exits the field as Anfernee Dijksteel enters on 83.
- 86' A moment of madness from Jake Cooper on 86 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Millwall FC will be frustrated.
- 87' Ashley Fletcher makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and Middlesbrough FC are in front.
