- 0' KICK OFF: Wycombe Wanderers FC gets underway.
- 5' 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.
- 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Veljko Paunovic will be considering his options from the bench.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Reading FC and Wycombe Wanderers FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 25' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Reading FC and Wycombe Wanderers FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 30' Michael Olise has been relatively quiet despite scoring 50 goals in his last 379 appearances.
- 35' The referee has no hesitation. Lucas Joao is booked for Reading FC — Yellow card on 35.
- 40' Liam Moore has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 45' 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.
- 50' Reading FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 55' 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 Ryan Allsop suffering a number of foals already.
- 57' Alfa Semedo is replacing Yakou Meite for the Reading FC side.
- 62' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 64' Lucas Joao is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the forward.
- 64' The crowd applauds Scott Kashket as he leaves the pitch. Fred Onyedinma steps in for Wycombe Wanderers FC.
- 68' The crowd applauds Alex Samuel as he leaves the pitch. Adebayo Akinfenwa steps in for Wycombe Wanderers FC.
- 73' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 73 minutes.
- 78' A moment of madness from Andy Rinomhota on 78 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Reading FC will be frustrated.
- 80' Anis Mehmeti is replacing Matt Bloomfield for the Wycombe Wanderers FC side.
- 85' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 89' The supporters are chanting for Tom McIntyre. He replaces Michael Olise on 89 minute.
- Full Time. Reading FC beats Wycombe Wanderers FC
