Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Sheffield Wednesday FC gets underway.
- 5' Kadeem Harris has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' Nottingham Forest FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' 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 Lyle Taylor suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Sheffield Wednesday FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Nottingham Forest FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 40' Anthony Knockaert needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 41' A meaty challenge results in booking for Liam Palmer on 41.
- 46' It looks surprising Sheffield Wednesday FC does not make any changes. Liam Palmer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 47' The referee shows Nottingham Forest FC player a Yellow card on 47.
- 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nottingham Forest FC that had 372 games and scored 433 goals.
- 56' The whistle greets Andre Green as he departs to be replaced by Jordan Rhodes.
- 61' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Callum Paterson.
- 66' Another substitution for Nottingham Forest FC to replace Cafu by Alexander Mighten on 66 minute.
- 69' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Anthony Knockaert.
- 74' Time for substitution for Nottingham Forest FC. Lewis Grabban is replaced by Lyle Taylor.
- 79' 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.
- 84' Sheffield Wednesday FC is showing some good football. However, Sheffield Wednesday FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 89' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 89 minutes.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
