Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Sunderland AFC host Fulham FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Sunderland AFC have won 485 goals from 369 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' Sunderland AFC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Wilson Isidor scoring 1 goals.
  • 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 20' Sunderland AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' Granit Xhaka is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Fulham FC tonight.
  • 35' That looks like a foul for a card for Joachim Andersen.
  • 40' Kevin Santos has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 396 appearances.
  • 45' Sunderland AFC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 50' It is a cagey affair so far. Sunderland AFC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Fulham FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 55' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 59' The referee shows Fulham FC player a card on 59.
  • 64' Nilson Angulo makes way for Habib Diarra at the 64 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sunderland AFC.
  • 65' Sunderland AFC make a change. Brian Brobbey trudges off to be replaced by Wilson Isidor on 65 minutes.
  • 68' The Fulham FC manager makes a substitution. Oscar Bobb departs to be replaced by Shea Charles.
  • 73' The 27-year-old Daniel Ballard has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 75' Magnificent from Wilson Isidor! That is 39 goals in 427 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 76' Fresh legs for Fulham FC! Emile Smith Rowe comes on to replace Cesar Palacios.
  • 81' Sunderland AFC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 83' Another substitution for Sunderland AFC to replace Habib Diarra by Chris Rigg on 83 minute.
  • 88' 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 Cesar Palacios suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Enzo Le Fee as he leaves the pitch. Romaine Mundle steps in for Sunderland AFC.
  • It finishes all square. Sunderland AFC and Fulham FC share the spoils 1-0.
