- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Millwall FC and Nottingham Forest FC is underway.
- 5' Murray Wallace needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 33 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' The travelling Nottingham Forest FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' 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 Scott McKenna suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' Millwall FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mason Bennett is hanging Tom Bradshaw on the field on 27 minute.
- 28' The whistle greets Tom Bradshaw as he departs to be replaced by Mason Bennett.
- 33' Nottingham Forest 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.
- 38' Djed Spence has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 62' 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.
- 67' It looks like no one’s ball. Millwall FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 73' Another substitution for Nottingham Forest FC to replace Keinan Davis by Philip Zinckernagel on 73 minute.
