Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Stoke City FC to score. At the same time, Millwall FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 10' It looks surprising Stoke City FC does not make any changes. Daniel Johnson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' Stoke City FC have won 400 goals from 380 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 19' Billy Mitchell has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 19.
  • 24' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lynden Gooch made 363 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 34' Supporters expect more eagerness from Billy Mitchell, as he is very good at scoring at Bet365 Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 39' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 44' 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.
  • 47' A meaty challenge results in booking for Michael Rose on 47.
  • 52' 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 Bryan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 54' A change in the Stoke City FC ranks — Daniel Johnson exits the field as Joon-ho Bae enters on 54.
  • 59' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 59 minutes.
  • 62' The supporters are chanting for Tom Bradshaw. He replaces Kevin Nisbet on 62 minute.
  • 66' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jake Cooper.
  • 70' The Millwall FC bench stirs into life. Brooke Norton-Cuffy is withdrawn and Dan McNamara gets his opportunity.
  • 75' Jordan Thompson is replacing Wouter Burger for the Stoke City FC side.
  • 80' Wes Harding picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 83' Time for substitution for Stoke City FC. Josh Laurent is replaced by Lewis Baker.
  • 88' Zian Flemming is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Millwall FC so far.
  • 90' Another substitution for Millwall FC to replace George Honeyman by Aidomo Emakhu on 90 minute.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
