Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Middlesbrough FC get us underway at The Den.
- 5' Millwall FC is showing some good football. However, Millwall FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Aidomo Emakhu is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Middlesbrough FC.
- 25' It’s high time Michael Carrick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Delano Burgzorg, as he is very good at scoring at The Den with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 40' Middlesbrough FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Middlesbrough FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 46' The whistle greets Luke Cundle as he departs to be replaced by Macaulay Langstaff.
- 51' 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 Luke Cundle suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' Aidan Morris needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 57' The Millwall FC manager makes a substitution. George Honeyman departs to be replaced by Camiel Neghli.
- 58' Millwall FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Femi Azeez is hanging Aidomo Emakhu on the field on 58 minute.
- 63' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 397 games and scored 498 goals.
- 65' Magnificent from Camiel Neghli! That is 16 goals in 35 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 66' Time for substitution for Middlesbrough FC. Delano Burgzorg is replaced by Riley McGree.
- 71' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 76' It is a cagey affair so far. Millwall FC in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past Middlesbrough FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 79' Camiel Neghli makes way for Wes Harding at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from Millwall FC.
- 84' Fresh legs for Middlesbrough FC! Kelechi Iheanacho comes on to replace Anfernee Dijksteel.
- 88' Femi Azeez is having his name booked by the referee on 88.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Millwall FC and Middlesbrough FC (для сухой ничьи).
