  • 5' Jamie Lindsay does the damage! The net is bulging and Rotherham United FC surge ahead!
  • 10' 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 Adam Reach suffering a number of foals already.
