Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Millwall FC and Sheffield United FC get this one started.
- 5' Sheffield United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' The travelling Sheffield United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 20' Casper De Norre has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 25 cards already picked up this season.
- 25' Sheffield United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 40' Sheffield United FC is showing some good football. However, Sheffield United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 42' Rhian Brewster doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 47' England international Romain Esse has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 52' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 52 minutes.
- 54' Sheffield United FC make a change. Vinicius Souza trudges off to be replaced by Tom Davies on 54 minutes.
- 56' Kieffer Moore gets the nod from Sheffield United FC. He replaces Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and will look to change the dynamic.
- 61' Japhet Tanganga has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
- 64' Macaulay Langstaff is replacing Femi Azeez for the Millwall FC side.
- 66' Another change for Sheffield United FC made on 66 minute. Rhian Brewster leaves to be changed by Sam McCallum.
- 71' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 76' 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 Sam McCallum suffering a number of foals already.
- 77' Aidomo Emakhu is ready to make an impact after coming on for Duncan Watmore at the 77 minute mark.
- 78' Millwall FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryan Wintle is hanging Casper De Norre on the field on 78 minute.
- 83' A quiet spell here at The Den. Millwall FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 84' Jack Robinson has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 84.
- 84' Jamie Shackleton gets the nod from Sheffield United FC. He replaces Gustavo Hamer and will look to change the dynamic.
- 89' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
