- 0' Welcome to Select Car Leasing Stadium that hosts another battle between Reading FC and Swansea City AFC.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Swansea City AFC that had 374 games and scored 397 goals.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' 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.
- 20' It looks surprising Swansea City AFC does not make any changes. Liam Cullen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' Nathan Wood-Gordon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 46 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 27' The referee calls foul for Oliver Cooper. He receives a Yellow card.
- 27' GOAL! Andy Carroll scores on 27.
- 28' Goal! Andy Carroll scores his 22 goal in 328 matches.
- 33' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Benjamin Cabango made 140 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 38' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.
- 40' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Tom Holmes.
- 45' Andy Yiadom needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
- 50' 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.
- 53' What a strike from Tom Ince! The score is 3-0.
- 58' Luke Cundle is replacing Jay Fulton for the Swansea City AFC side.

- 85' 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 Matt Grimes suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' 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.
