- 17' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 22' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Benik Afobe makes no mistake. 0-2!
- 24' What a strike from Marco Matias! The score is 1-2.
- 29' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 34' The 38-year-old Mame Birame Diouf has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Stoke City FC that had 380 games and scored 400 goals.
- 44' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 49' With 0 assists to his name this season, Peter Crouch is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sheffield Wednesday FC.

- 82' GOAL! Barry Bannan scores on 82.
- 84' The whistle greets Mame Birame Diouf as he departs to be replaced by Bojan.
