Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Bet365 Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Stoke City FC and Sheffield Wednesday FC.
  • 5' Sheffield Wednesday FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 9' Akin Famewo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 9.
  • 10' Wouter Burger has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 10.
  • 11' Wouter Burger was booked on 11.
  • 16' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Stoke City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 21' 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.
  • 26' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-1-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 31' Over 31 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 34' That is a Yellow card for Sheffield Wednesday FC. Marvin Johnson will be fuming at that decision.
  • 39' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 39 minutes.
  • 44' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 49' Sheffield Wednesday FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 49.
  • 54' 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 Michael Smith suffering a number of foals already.
  • 58' Another substitution for Sheffield Wednesday FC to replace Bailey Cadamarteri by Anthony Musaba on 58 minute.
  • 63' Ben Pearson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 68' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 69' Michael Ihiekwe is ready to make an impact after coming on for Akin Famewo at the 69 minute mark.
  • 71' Enda Stevens makes way for Ki-Jana Hoever at the 71 minute mark. A tactical switch from Stoke City FC.
  • 76' Sheffield Wednesday FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 78' The crowd applauds Mehdi Leris as he leaves the pitch. Michael Rose steps in for Stoke City FC.
  • 79' Michael Smith is ready to make an impact after coming on for George Byers at the 79 minute mark.
  • 82' A moment of madness from Luke McNally on 82 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Stoke City FC will be frustrated.
  • 86' Another substitution for Stoke City FC to replace Ryan Mmaee by Andre Vidigal on 86 minute.
  • 88' Ciaran Clark catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 88.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Anthony Musaba. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
