- 0' The game is set. Sheffield Wednesday FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Emiliano Martinez, a Argentina , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Sheffield Wednesday FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.

- 50' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
