Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Newcastle United FC and Burnley FC is underway.
  • 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 10' Burnley 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.
