- 0' In just a few seconds Select Car Leasing Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Reading FC and Wrexham AFC.
- 5' Wrexham AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Jay Rodriguez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 20' 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.
- 25' 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 Eoghan O'Connell suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' James McClean has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 40' 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.
- 45' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 48' The referee shows Reading FC player a card on 48.

- 78' Harlee Dean has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kelvin Ehibhationhan on 78 minute.
- 83' It looks like no one’s ball. Reading FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 85' Andy Yiadom has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jayden Wareham on 85 minute.
- 90' Charlie Savage was booked on 90.
