Events

Match Events

0' That's the starting whistle at Bramall Lane. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Sheffield United FC and Bristol City FC.
5' Sheffield United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Bristol City FC backline.
10' Bristol City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
15' Sheffield United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
20' It looks surprising Sheffield United FC does not make any changes. Jack Robinson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
25' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-2-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
35' A quiet spell here at Bramall Lane. Bristol City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
40' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
41' Sheffield United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Kieffer Moore on 41.
46' Bristol City FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
51' Bristol City FC is showing some good football. However, Bristol City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
52' Gustavo Hamer has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 52 minutes.
57' Jason Knight has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
58' The supporters are chanting for Anis Mehmeti. He replaces Scott Twine on 58 minute.
59' It is a substitution in Bristol City FC team. Max Bird is replaced by Marcus McGuane on 59 minute.
62' The Sheffield United FC bench stirs into life. Kieffer Moore is withdrawn and Tyrese Campbell gets his opportunity.
67' George Earthy has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 345 appearances.
68' Sam Bell is replacing Cameron Pring for the Bristol City FC side.
72' Sheffield United FC make a change. Gustavo Hamer trudges off to be replaced by Jesurun Rak-Sakyi on 72 minutes.
77' 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 Hamza Choudhury suffering a number of foals already.
80' Time for substitution for Sheffield United FC. Vinicius Souza is replaced by Tom Davies.
83' Callum O'Hare adds to his 1 season tally! Sheffield United FC lead 3-0 — and this changes everything.
88' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
90' Controversy at the stadium! Harry Cornick argues furiously but the card stands.
Full Time. Sheffield United FC beats Bristol City FC
