0' Temperatures are rising at Select Car Leasing Stadium as Reading FC face off against Bolton Wanderers FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
10' Bolton Wanderers 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.
15' Reading FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Bolton Wanderers FC backline.
20' Reading FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
89' Harvey Knibbs has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 89 minutes.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Reading FC players.
