Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Sunderland AFC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Sunderland AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Matt Ritchie, as he is very good at scoring at Fratton Park with 3 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portsmouth FC that had 371 games and scored 525 goals.
  • 30' Sam Silvera needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 31' Zak Swanson puts Portsmouth FC on the lead.
  • 36' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 41' 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.
  • 44' The referee calls foul for Chris Rigg. He receives a card.
  • 49' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 51' GOAL! Alan Browne scores on 51. Assisted by Patrick Roberts
  • 56' What a strike from Romaine Mundle! The score is 1-2.
  • 60' Paddy Lane is replacing Christian Saydee for the Portsmouth FC side.
  • 61' Abdoulaye Kamara has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sam Silvera on 61 minute.
  • 66' 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 Harvey Blair suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' It looks surprising Portsmouth FC does not make any changes. Trai Hume has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 74' It is a substitution in Sunderland AFC team. Romaine Mundle is replaced by Ian Poveda on 74 minute.
  • 78' Abdoulaye Kamara was booked on 78.
  • 79' Time for substitution for Portsmouth FC. Callum Lang is replaced by Harvey Blair.
  • 84' Sunderland AFC 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' Nazarii Rusyn is replacing Eliezer Mayenda for the Sunderland AFC side.
  • 88' Portsmouth FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 88.
  • 90' Portsmouth FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-3.
