Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Peterborough United FC gets underway.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Charlie Wyke made 363 appearances and scored 51 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 18' A meaty challenge results in booking for Louis Reed on 18.
  • 23' It looks like no one’s ball. Peterborough United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 28' Peterborough United 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.
  • 33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jonson Clarke-Harris, as he is very good at scoring at Weston Homes Stadium with 49 goals in the last 34 games.
  • 38' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Dan Butler.
  • 43' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 48' 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 Joe Ward suffering a number of foals already.
  • 53' Denver Hume needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 56' Another substitution for Peterborough United FC to replace Louis Reed by Reece Brown on 56 minute.
  • 61' The travelling Sunderland AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 63' It is a substitution in Peterborough United FC team. Dan Butler is replaced by Niall Mason on 63 minute.
  • 66' GOAL! Siriki Dembele scores on 66. Assisted by Nathan Thompson
  • 71' The supporters are chanting for Conor McLaughlin. He replaces Grant Leadbitter on 71 minute.
  • 76' Peterborough United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 76.
  • 79' The supporters are chanting for Josh Scowen. He replaces Carl Winchester on 79 minute.
  • 81' GOAL! Aiden McGeady scores on 81.
  • 85' Mohamed Eisa is replacing Samuel Szmodics for the Peterborough United FC side.
  • 90' It’s high time Darren Ferguson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
