Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Carrow Road as Norwich City FC face off against Middlesbrough FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 7' GOAL! Josh Sargent scores on 7.
  • 12' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 17' Dael Fry has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 22' Darragh Lenihan is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
  • 27' 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 Isaiah Jones suffering a number of foals already.
  • 32' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 37' Ben Gibson has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 342 appearances.
  • 41' Marcus Forss was booked on 41.
  • 46' Jordan Hugill needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 51' Both keepers have barely been tested. Norwich City FC and Middlesbrough FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 56' The travelling Middlesbrough FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 59' The referee has no hesitation. Isaac Hayden is booked for Norwich City FC — Yellow card on 59.
  • 62' The Norwich City FC manager makes a substitution. Teemu Pukki departs to be replaced by Onel Hernandez.
  • 64' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Riley McGree makes no mistake. 1-1!
  • 69' 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.
  • 71' The crowd applauds Sam McCallum as he leaves the pitch. Dimitris Giannoulis steps in for Norwich City FC.
  • 74' The Middlesbrough FC manager makes a substitution. Marcus Forss departs to be replaced by Matthew Hoppe.
  • 79' Norwich City FC is showing some good football. However, Norwich City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 83' Another substitution for Norwich City FC to replace Gabriel Sara by Marcelino Nunez on 83 minute.
  • 84' Another substitution for Norwich City FC to replace Josh Sargent by Jordan Hugill on 84 minute.
  • 88' Matty Crooks gets the nod from Middlesbrough FC. He replaces Riley McGree and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' A tactical swap from Middlesbrough FC — Rodrigo Muniz on, Isaiah Jones off on 90 minutes.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Middlesbrough FC players.
