Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Huddersfield Town AFC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Antony Evans needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Reading FC and Huddersfield Town AFC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Amadou Salif Mbengue is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Huddersfield Town AFC.
  • 20' Huddersfield Town AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 21' The deadlock is broken! Matty Pearson gets on the scoresheet on 21 minutes.
  • 26' Reading FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 30' Harvey Knibbs doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sam Smith made 366 appearances and scored 62 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 45' 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 David Kasumu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' Josh Koroma has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 55' England international Lewis Wing has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 57' Ben Elliott is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the midfielder.
  • 62' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Reading FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 67' Reading FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Huddersfield Town AFC's shape.
  • 72' Over 72 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 77' Reading FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Huddersfield Town AFC backline.
  • 82' Reading 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' It looks like no one’s ball. Huddersfield Town AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • Full Time. Reading FC beats Huddersfield Town AFC
