Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Rotherham United FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Brice Samba suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Nottingham Forest FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rotherham United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' Rotherham United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 26' A meaty challenge results in booking for Michael Ihiekwe on 26.
- 31' It looks surprising Rotherham United FC does not make any changes. Anthony Knockaert has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 36' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 41' 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.
- 42' Michael Smith is having his name booked by the referee on 42.
- 47' 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.
- 52' Cafu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 57' The travelling Nottingham Forest FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 62' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryan Yates made 358 appearances and scored 23 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 66' Joe Lolley is replacing Luke Freeman for the Nottingham Forest FC side.
- 67' What a strike from Ryan Yates! The score is 0-1.

- 79' Nottingham Forest FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 80' The whistle greets Ben Wiles as he departs to be replaced by Kieran Sadlier.
- 85' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ben Wiles, as he is very good at scoring at New York Stadium with 6 goals in the last 6 games.
- 87' The whistle greets Anthony Knockaert as he departs to be replaced by Tyler Blackett.
- 88' Another change for Nottingham Forest FC made on 88 minute. Filip Krovinovic leaves to be changed by James Garner.
