Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Rotherham United FC is hosting Reading FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' Rotherham United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 7' Richard Wood makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Rotherham United FC are in front.
  • 12' With 0 assists to his name this season, Lee Peltier is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Rotherham United FC.
  • 15' A goal from the Northern Ireland international Conor Washington! He fires home on 15 to make it 2-0!
  • 18' A stunning finish from Jamie Lindsay — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 23' The home supporters are growing impatient. Rotherham United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 28' 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.
  • 33' The 29-year-old Oliver Rathbone has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 38' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cohen Bramall made 7 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 43' 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 Jeff Hendrick suffering a number of foals already.
  • 47' Chiedozie Ogbene doubles the advantage! 4-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.

  • 79' The travelling Reading FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 84' Tom Holmes has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 85' Shane Long has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 85.
  • 87' Another substitution for Reading FC to replace Junior Hoilett by Kelvin Ehibhaimha on 87 minute.
