Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at St. Mary's Stadium as Southampton FC face off against Leeds United FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Southampton FC that had 348 games and scored 417 goals.
  • 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Southampton FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' Rodrigo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 30' 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 Pascal Struijk suffering a number of foals already.
  • 34' The referee has no hesitation. Kalvin Phillips is booked for Leeds United FC — Yellow card on 34.
  • 35' Kalvin Phillips has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 35.

  • 51' Southampton FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Leeds United FC's shape.
  • 56' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Stuart Dallas.
  • 61' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mohammed Salisu made 323 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 66' Poor challenge from Pascal Struijk. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 70' Nathan Redmond is ready to make an impact after coming on for Nathan Tella at the 70 minute mark.
