- 5' Rotherham United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AFC Bournemouth that had 335 games and scored 441 goals.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' What a strike from Junior Stanislas! The score is 0-1.
- 25' Ben Wiles has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
- 35' Rotherham United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
- 37' Goal! Freddie Ladapo scores his 74 goal in 331 matches.
- 42' It looks like no one’s ball. Rotherham United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 43' AFC Bournemouth receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 43.
- 45' It’s a booking for Rotherham United FC player. Michael Ihiekwe gets a Yellow card.

- 63' What an equalizer from Dominic Solanke!
- 64' It is a substitution in Rotherham United FC team. Matthew Olosunde is replaced by Trevor Clarke on 64 minute.
- 69' 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 Brooks suffering a number of foals already.
- 74' It’s high time Jason Tindall made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 76' The referee shows AFC Bournemouth player a Yellow card on 76.

- The final score is 2-2.
