Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Stoke City FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Joe Allen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 13' Bradley Dack adds to his 0 season tally! Blackburn Rovers FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 18' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 23' The travelling Blackburn Rovers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 28' Stoke City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 33' Danny Graham has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 38' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 43' Blackburn Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
  • 48' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Stoke City FC and Blackburn Rovers FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 52' Elliott Bennett gets the nod from Blackburn Rovers FC. He replaces Adam Armstrong and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 57' Sam Clucas is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Stoke City FC tonight.
  • 61' Time for substitution for Blackburn Rovers FC. Danny Graham is replaced by Sam Gallagher.
  • 63' The Stoke City FC manager makes a substitution. Tom Ince departs to be replaced by Mame Birame Diouf.
  • 68' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 71' Joe Rothwell makes way for Lewis Holtby at the 71 minute mark. A tactical switch from Blackburn Rovers FC.
  • 76' Adam Armstrong has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 78' Another substitution for Stoke City FC to replace Stephen Ward by Nick Powell on 78 minute.
  • 80' What composure from Corry Evans! The Northern Ireland international strokes it home. 0-2.
  • 84' The deadlock is broken! Sam Gallagher gets on the scoresheet on 84 minutes.
  • 89' 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.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Blackburn Rovers FC players.
