- 0' In just a few seconds Select Car Leasing Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Reading FC and Fleetwood Town FC.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Reading FC that had 379 games and scored 433 goals.
- 8' It’s a booking for Reading FC player. Tivonge Rushesha gets a card.
- 13' Reading FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 13.
- 18' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Elliot Bonds made 145 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 23' Matty Virtue needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 28' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 28 minutes.
- 33' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 38' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Reading FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 43' It looks surprising Reading FC does not make any changes. Phoenix Patterson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 63' It is a substitution in Reading FC team. Tyler Bindon is replaced by Adrian Akande on 63 minute.
- 68' 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 Basil Tuma suffering a number of foals already.
- 73' 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.
- 75' Liam Shaw has so much to prove this time. He replaces Matty Virtue on 75 minute.
