Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at New York Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Luton Town FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 8' GOAL! Kasey Palmer scores on 8. Assisted by Shayden Morris
  • 13' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 18' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 18 minutes.
  • 23' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Luton Town FC that had 382 games and scored 465 goals.
  • 28' Luton Town FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Kasey Palmer scoring 2 goals.
  • 33' 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 George Saville suffering a number of foals already.
  • 38' It looks surprising Luton Town FC does not make any changes. Sverre Sandal has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 43' The referee shows Rotherham United FC player a card on 43.
  • 44' Goal! Kasey Palmer scores his 24 goal in 382 matches.
  • 46' Another change for Rotherham United FC made on 46 minute. Cohen Lee leaves to be changed by Dru Yearwood.
  • 51' Rotherham United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 56' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Luton Town FC winning 50% of all matches.
  • 61' Another change for Luton Town FC made on 61 minute. Shayden Morris leaves to be changed by Jake Richards.
  • 62' The whistle greets James Clarke as he departs to be replaced by Jack Holmes.
  • 67' Rotherham United FC is showing some good football. However, Rotherham United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 72' 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.
  • 73' The Luton Town FC manager makes a substitution. Nahki Wells departs to be replaced by Ali Al-Hamadi.
  • 74' It is a substitution in Luton Town FC team. Liam Walsh is replaced by George Saville on 74 minute.
  • 79' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 84' The travelling Luton Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 86' Sverre Sandal is replacing Emilio Lawrence for the Luton Town FC side.
  • 88' Hakeem Odoffin is having his name booked by the referee on 88.
