Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at New York Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 2' Richard Wood doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 7' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 12' 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.
- 17' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 18' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Wes Harding on 18 minutes.
- 23' 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.
- 27' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Lee Peltier.
- 32' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ben Wiles on 32.
- 33' Magnificent from Vakoun Issouf Bayo! That is 48 goals in 11 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 38' Brooke Norton-Cuffy has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 323 appearances.
- 41' That is a Yellow card for Watford FC. Yaser Asprilla will be fuming at that decision.

- 62' Another substitution for Rotherham United FC to replace Daniel Barlaser by Scott High on 62 minute.
- 63' Rotherham United FC make a change. Conor Washington trudges off to be replaced by Tom Eaves on 63 minutes.
- 66' Edo Kayembe has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 66.
- 71' The travelling Watford FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 76' Rotherham United FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Watford FC's shape.
- 81' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 86' 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.
- It finishes all square. Rotherham United FC and Watford FC share the spoils 1-1.
