Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Montgomery Waters Meadow will turn into a battlefield for Shrewsbury Town FC and Sunderland AFC.
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sunderland AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' 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.
- 20' A meaty challenge results in booking for Patrick Roberts on 20.
- 25' Shrewsbury Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sunderland AFC that had 363 games and scored 478 goals.
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. Shrewsbury Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' 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 Ross Stewart suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' The Shrewsbury Town FC manager makes a substitution. Aiden O'Brien departs to be replaced by Tom Bloxham.
- 51' Luke O'Nien needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 3 Red cards this season.
- 56' Shrewsbury Town FC is showing some good football. However, Shrewsbury Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 59' Another change for Sunderland AFC made on 59 minute. Abdoullah Ba leaves to be changed by Ross Stewart.
- 64' 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.
- 69' Jewison Bennette has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 72' It is a substitution in Shrewsbury Town FC team. Christian Saydee is replaced by Robert Street on 72 minute.
- 77' The travelling Sunderland AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 80' Goal! Matthew Pennington scores his 15 goal in 358 matches.
- 81' The whistle greets Edouard Michut as he departs to be replaced by Chris Rigg.
- 84' The Shrewsbury Town FC manager makes a substitution. Tom Bayliss departs to be replaced by Julien Da Costa.
- 89' It’s a booking for Shrewsbury Town FC player. Jordan Shipley gets a Yellow card.
- The final score is 1-2.
