- 29' The energy levels are beginning to show. Lee Johnson might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 34' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ethan Laird made 411 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 39' Josh Scowen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 43' The Milton Keynes Dons FC manager makes a substitution. Louis Thompson departs to be replaced by Andrew Surman.
- 48' Both keepers have barely been tested. Milton Keynes Dons FC and Sunderland AFC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 49' Luke O'Nien was booked on 49.
- 53' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Cameron Jerome on 53 minutes.

- 84' Another change for Sunderland AFC made on 84 minute. Aiden O'Brien leaves to be changed by Chris Maguire.
- 89' 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 Matt O'Riley suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' Sunderland AFC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
- Game over. The scoreline of 2-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
