  • 5' Sunderland AFC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' It’s high time Anthony Hayes made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' 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 George Tanner suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' It looks surprising Sunderland AFC does not make any changes. Max O'Leary has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Sunderland AFC is showing some good football. However, Sunderland AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Liam Manning might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 35' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 40' Jobe Bellingham has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 45' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sunderland AFC and Bristol City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 46' The crowd applauds Anis Mehmeti as he leaves the pitch. Ross McCrorie steps in for Bristol City FC.
  • 51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 56' Bristol City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 59' A change in the Sunderland AFC ranks — Adil Aouchiche exits the field as Bradley Dack enters on 59.
  • 62' A moment of madness from Trai Hume on 62 minutes earns him a card. Sunderland AFC will be frustrated.
  • 66' Nahki Wells makes way for Tommy Conway at the 66 minute mark. A tactical switch from Bristol City FC.
  • 70' Poor challenge from Cameron Pring. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 75' Bristol City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 75.
