  • 0' Welcome to Hillsborough that hosts another battle between Sheffield Wednesday FC and Huddersfield Town AFC.
  • 5' Huddersfield Town AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sheffield Wednesday FC and Huddersfield Town AFC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 15' 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 Michael Ihiekwe suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sheffield Wednesday FC that had 379 games and scored 456 goals.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tom Lees, as he is very good at scoring at Hillsborough with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 35' 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.

  • 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 50' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 55' named a 3-4-1-2 earlier, and opted for a 3-5-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 58' Will Vaulks has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 58.

  • 72' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 77' Time for substitution for Sheffield Wednesday FC. Callum Paterson is replaced by John Buckley.
