Events

Match Events

  • 5' Stoke City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' Wouter Burger has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 25' Controversy at the stadium! Tyrese Campbell argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 30' Vinicius Souza is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Stoke City FC so far.
  • 32' Time for substitution for Stoke City FC. Ben Pearson is replaced by Bosun Lawal.
  • 37' It looks surprising Stoke City FC does not make any changes. Rob Holding has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 38' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Sam McCallum makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 43' Stoke City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 77' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 82' Anel Ahmedhodzic, a Bosnia-Herzegovina , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 86' A tactical swap from Stoke City FC — Josh Wilson-Esbrand on, Junior Tchamadeu off on 86 minutes.
  • 87' What a moment for Andre Brooks! That strike on 87 puts his side firmly in control.
