10' England international Anthony Patterson has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. John Mousinho will be considering his options from the bench.
20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jordan Williams made 392 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
25' Alan Browne has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portsmouth FC that had 378 games and scored 534 goals.
31' Zak Swanson is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 1 goals this season for the .
36' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
41' Andre Dozzell is a natural central midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sunderland AFC tonight.
44' The referee has no hesitation. Chris Rigg is booked for Sunderland AFC — card on 44.
49' Sunderland AFC is showing some good football. However, Sunderland AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
51' Alan Browne does the damage! The net is bulging and Sunderland AFC surge ahead!
56' Romaine Mundle is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .
60' The Portsmouth FC bench stirs into life. Christian Saydee is withdrawn and Paddy Lane gets his opportunity.

66' Sunderland AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 66.
71' Sunderland AFC come into this ranked 1 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
74' A change in the Sunderland AFC ranks — Romaine Mundle exits the field as Ian Poveda enters on 74.
78' That is a card for Portsmouth FC. Abdoulaye Kamara will be fuming at that decision.
79' Portsmouth FC make a change. Callum Lang trudges off to be replaced by Harvey Blair on 79 minutes.
84' Portsmouth 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.
87' Another substitution for Sunderland AFC to replace Eliezer Mayenda by Nazarii Rusyn on 87 minute.
88' Controversy at the stadium! Zak Swanson argues furiously but the card stands.
90' A moment of madness from Kusini Yengi on 90 minutes earns him a card. Portsmouth FC will be frustrated.
