Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Newport County AFC is hosting Middlesbrough FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jordan Hugill made 383 appearances and scored 43 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' Newport County AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' Middlesbrough 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.
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Aden Flint, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 383 games and scored 467 goals.
  • 45' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 46' Another substitution for Middlesbrough FC to replace Paddy McNair by Rajiv van La Parra on 46 minute.
  • 47' Newport County AFC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Robbie Willmott on 47.
  • 52' It looks surprising Middlesbrough FC does not make any changes. Dan Butler has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 61' The whistle greets Britt Assombalonga as he departs to be replaced by Ashley Fletcher.

  • 74' The whistle greets Joss Labadie as he departs to be replaced by Matthew Dolan.
  • 79' 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 Regan Poole suffering a number of foals already.
  • 84' Middlesbrough FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 86' Time for substitution for Newport County AFC. Robbie Willmott is replaced by David Pipe.
