Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Sunderland AFC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Enzo Le Fee needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 22 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' 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 Granit Xhaka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' Sunderland AFC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Trai Hume on 25.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' Chelsea FC is showing some good football. However, Chelsea FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 43' Sunderland AFC receives a card for a hard tackle on 43.
  • 48' Chelsea 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.
  • 50' GOAL! Malo Gusto scores on 50.
  • 52' That looks like a foul for a card for Lutsharel Geertruida.
  • 54' The referee shows Chelsea FC player a card on 54.
  • 56' What a strike from Cole Palmer! The score is 1-2.
  • 61' Chelsea FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 62' Chelsea FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 67' It looks surprising Chelsea FC does not make any changes. Nordi Mukiele has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 69' The referee shows Chelsea FC player a card on 69.
  • 73' Granit Xhaka is having his name booked by the referee on 73.
  • 78' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sunderland AFC that had 363 games and scored 478 goals.
  • 81' Habib Diarra is having his name booked by the referee on 81.
  • 86' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 89' It’s gonna be a card for Noah Sadiki.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Joao Pedro on 90.
  • The final score is 2-1.
