0' Welcome to Stadium of Light that hosts another battle between Sunderland AFC and Gillingham FC.
5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
10' It’s high time Neil Harris made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
15' 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.
20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
30' Ryan Jackson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Aaron Chapman made 383 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
38' Olly Lee was booked on 38.
40' David Tutonda is having his name booked by the referee on 40.
41' The referee shows Gillingham FC player a Yellow card on 41.
45' The referee calls foul for Dennis Cirken. He receives a Yellow card.
50' 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.
55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
60' It looks surprising Gillingham FC does not make any changes. Jack Tucker has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
65' Charlie Kelman has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
68' The Sunderland AFC manager makes a substitution. Carl Winchester departs to be replaced by Lynden Gooch.
69' Time for substitution for Sunderland AFC. Alex Pritchard is replaced by Nathan Broadhead.
73' It is a substitution in Gillingham FC team. John Chambers is replaced by Ben Reeves on 73 minute.
78' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ben Reeves.
83' 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 John Chambers suffering a number of foals already.
88' Sunderland AFC 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.
90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Nathan Broadhead.
That’s it! Another goalless match for Sunderland AFC and Gillingham FC (для сухой ничьи).
