Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Sheffield United FC and Stoke City FC get this one started.
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sheffield United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 14' Kieffer Moore adds to his 0 season tally! Sheffield United FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 19' Sheffield United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 19.
  • 24' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 29' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 34' England international Michael Cooper has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 36' Controversy at the stadium! Anel Ahmedhodzic argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 41' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sheffield United FC and Stoke City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 45' It’s a booking for Stoke City FC player. Ben Gibson gets a card.
  • 46' Joon-ho Bae gets the nod from Stoke City FC. He replaces Thomas Cannon and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 47' Sheffield United FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 47.
  • 50' A goal from the England international Tyrese Campbell! He fires home on 50 to make it 2-0!
  • 55' It is a cagey affair so far. Sheffield United FC in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past Stoke City FC's compact 5-4-1.
  • 60' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Chicho Pelach will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 63' Rhian Brewster gets the nod from Sheffield United FC. He replaces Tyrese Campbell and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 64' Time for substitution for Sheffield United FC. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is replaced by Andre Brooks.
  • 69' 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 Wouter Burger suffering a number of foals already.
  • 74' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 75' Poor challenge from Rhian Brewster. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 76' The crowd applauds Wouter Burger as he leaves the pitch. Tatsuki Seko steps in for Stoke City FC.
  • 81' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, as he is very good at scoring at Bramall Lane with 5 goals in the last 4 games.
  • 82' Lewis Koumas has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 82.
  • 87' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 88' Time for substitution for Stoke City FC. Junior Tchamadeu is replaced by Andre Vidigal.

  • The final score is 2-0.
