- 0' The game is set. Swansea City AFC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Jay Fulton has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 10' Jamal Lowe, a Jamaica , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 15' The travelling Swansea City AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 25' 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 Ryan Mmaee suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Swansea City AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

- 42' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Benjamin Cabango.
- 46' Yannick Bolasie is ready to make an impact after coming on for Charlie Patino at the 46 minute mark.
- 51' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Stoke City FC and Swansea City AFC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 56' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 61' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 65' Jerry Yates makes way for Liam Walsh at the 65 minute mark. A tactical switch from Swansea City AFC.
- 70' Daniel Johnson does the damage! The net is bulging and Stoke City FC surge ahead!
- 72' It is a substitution in Stoke City FC team. Daniel Johnson is replaced by Joon-ho Bae on 72 minute.
- 75' Time for substitution for Swansea City AFC. Jamal Lowe is replaced by Liam Cullen.
- 76' Oliver Cooper is replacing Jamie Paterson for the Swansea City AFC side.
- 81' It is a substitution in Stoke City FC team. Wouter Burger is replaced by Jordan Thompson on 81 minute.
