Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Norwich City FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Sam Silvera is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Norwich City FC tonight.
  • 10' Jack Stacey has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 24 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 20' Norwich City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Norwich City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Michael Carrick might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. Norwich City FC and Middlesbrough FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Middlesbrough FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 46' A goal from the England international Sam Greenwood! He fires home on 46 to make it 0-1!
  • 51' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 56' Norwich City FC have won 460 goals from 368 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 61' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 66' Another substitution for Norwich City FC to replace Onel Hernandez by Borja Sainz on 66 minute.
  • 67' Ui-jo Hwang gets the nod from Norwich City FC. He replaces Adam Idah and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 72' 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 Rav van den Berg suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' The referee shows Norwich City FC player a Yellow card on 76.
  • 78' Adam Forshaw is replacing Dimitris Giannoulis for the Norwich City FC side.
  • 83' The crowd applauds Lukas Engel as he leaves the pitch. Alex Bangura steps in for Middlesbrough FC.
  • 88' 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.
  • 89' Middlesbrough FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 90' Isaiah Jones makes way for Anfernee Dijksteel at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Middlesbrough FC.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Seny Dieng. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
