Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Bramall Lane. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Bristol City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' The 26-year-old Tyrese Campbell has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 15' Bristol City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sheffield United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 40' 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 Cameron Pring suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 46' Bristol City FC make a change. Max Bird trudges off to be replaced by Mark Sykes on 46 minutes.
- 51' Harrison Burrows has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 54' Rhian Brewster gets the nod from Sheffield United FC. He replaces Callum O'Hare and will look to change the dynamic.
- 55' Gustavo Hamer is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jesurun Rak-Sakyi at the 55 minute mark.
- 60' The travelling Bristol City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 61' The deadlock is broken! Tyrese Campbell gets on the scoresheet on 61 minutes.
- 62' Bristol City FC ring the changes. Sinclair Armstrong has done his job and it is now time for Nahki Wells to step up.
- 63' George Earthy is ready to make an impact after coming on for Yu Hirakawa at the 63 minute mark.
- 67' Tyrese Campbell makes way for Kieffer Moore at the 67 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sheffield United FC.
- 72' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sheffield United FC and Bristol City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 77' The whistle greets Rob Holding as he departs to be replaced by Sam McCallum.
- 79' Bristol City FC make a change. Haydon Roberts trudges off to be replaced by Cameron Pring on 79 minutes.
- 84' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bristol City FC that had 391 games and scored 441 goals.
- 89' Sheffield United FC is showing some good football. However, Sheffield United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
