Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Reading FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Reading FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 7' Against the run of play, Richard Wood has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 12' Rotherham United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Reading FC backline.
- 15' The deadlock is broken! Conor Washington gets on the scoresheet on 15 minutes.
- 18' GOAL! Jamie Lindsay scores on 18.
- 23' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 28' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 33' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 38' 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 Viktor Johansson suffering a number of foals already.
- 43' Reading FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
- 47' Chiedozie Ogbene adds to his 0 season tally! Rotherham United FC lead 4-0 — and this changes everything.
- 52' 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.
- 57' Poor challenge from Andy Yiadom. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 60' A change in the Rotherham United FC ranks — Conor Washington exits the field as Georgie Kelly enters on 60.
- 65' Reading FC have won 433 goals from 379 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 68' The supporters are chanting for Lee Peltier. He replaces Grant Hall on 68 minute.
- 73' Another substitution for Reading FC to replace Jeff Hendrick by Mamadi Camara on 73 minute.
- 74' Another substitution for Rotherham United FC to replace Shane Ferguson by Cohen Bramall on 74 minute.
- 79' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daniel Barlaser made 231 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 84' Kelvin Ehibhaimha has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 85' Shane Long is having his name booked by the referee on 85.
- 87' Kelvin Ehibhaimha is ready to make an impact after coming on for Junior Hoilett at the 87 minute mark.
- It finishes all square. Rotherham United FC and Reading FC share the spoils 4-0.
