Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Swansea City AFC kicks off things out of here…
5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
6' Magnificent from Nick Powell! That is 42 goals in 385 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
11' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Korey Smith made 392 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
16' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
19' Assisted by Ryan Manning with the perfectly-timed delivery and Connor Roberts makes no mistake. 1-1!
24' 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 Freddie Woodman suffering a number of foals already.
29' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Stoke City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
34' Swansea City AFC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Stoke City FC that had 385 games and scored 408 goals.
44' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Stoke City FC and Swansea City AFC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
46' Danny Batth makes way for Jack Clarke at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Stoke City FC.
51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Swansea City AFC winning 100% of all matches.
56' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
61' Harry Souttar needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Red cards this season.
66' 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.
70' Conor Hourihane has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jamal Lowe on 70 minute.
71' A moment of madness from Ryan Manning on 71 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Swansea City AFC will be frustrated.
76' Jacob Brown has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 48 cards already picked up this season.
81' Swansea City AFC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
86' Stoke City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jordan Thompson is hanging Nick Powell on the field on 86 minute.
The points are shared — Stoke City FC 1-2 Swansea City AFC. Honours even.
