Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Shrewsbury Town FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Tony Mowbray will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 20' Patrick Roberts has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 20.
  • 25' Shrewsbury Town FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sunderland AFC backline.
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Steve Cotterill might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 35' It’s high time Tony Mowbray made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' It looks like no one’s ball. Sunderland AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ross Stewart made 212 appearances and scored 47 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' Tom Bloxham gets the nod from Shrewsbury Town FC. He replaces Aiden O'Brien and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
  • 59' Time for substitution for Sunderland AFC. Abdoullah Ba is replaced by Ross Stewart.
  • 64' A quiet spell here at Montgomery Waters Meadow. Sunderland AFC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 69' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 72' Robert Street is ready to make an impact after coming on for Christian Saydee at the 72 minute mark.
  • 77' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 80' What composure from Matthew Pennington! The England international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 81' Another change for Sunderland AFC made on 81 minute. Edouard Michut leaves to be changed by Chris Rigg.
  • 84' Time for substitution for Shrewsbury Town FC. Tom Bayliss is replaced by Julien Da Costa.
