Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Millwall FC host Sheffield Wednesday FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 15' Anthony Musaba has been relatively quiet despite scoring 23 goals in his last 188 appearances.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 25' Romain Esse has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 5 cards already picked up this season.
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Millwall FC and Sheffield Wednesday FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 40' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 44' A moment of madness from Japhet Tanganga on 44 minutes earns him a card. Millwall FC will be frustrated.
  • 49' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Millwall FC that had 397 games and scored 425 goals.
  • 54' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 59' Against the run of play, Josh Coburn has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 61' It’s gonna be a card for Barry Bannan.
  • 62' Michael Smith is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ike Ugbo at the 62 minute mark.
  • 67' Over 67 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 71' What composure from Duncan Watmore! The England international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 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 Casper De Norre suffering a number of foals already.
  • 78' The Millwall FC manager makes a substitution. Josh Coburn departs to be replaced by Daniel Kelly.
  • 82' Romain Esse was booked on 82.
  • 83' Time for substitution for Sheffield Wednesday FC. Anthony Musaba is replaced by Pol Valentin Sancho.
  • 84' The whistle greets Romain Esse as he departs to be replaced by Femi Azeez.
  • 85' Millwall FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryan Wintle is hanging Duncan Watmore on the field on 85 minute.
  • 88' Jake Cooper adds to his 2 season tally! Millwall FC lead 3-0 — and this changes everything.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-0.
