Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Stadium of Light will turn into a battlefield for Sunderland AFC and Luton Town FC.
  • 5' The travelling Luton Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' Luton Town FC is showing some good football. However, Luton Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 13' A stunning finish from Enzo Le Fee — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 18' The energy levels are beginning to show. Regis Le Bris might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 23' 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.
  • 28' Patrick Roberts has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 33' Mads Juel Andersen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 38' Supporters expect more eagerness from Thomas Kaminski, as he is very good at scoring at Stadium of Light with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 43' 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 Carlton Morris suffering a number of foals already.
  • 48' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 53' Sunderland AFC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Luton Town FC's 4-1-4-1 shape.
  • 54' A moment of madness from Lamine Dabo on 54 minutes earns him a card. Luton Town FC will be frustrated.
  • 58' Magnificent from Wilson Isidor! That is 39 goals in 427 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 62' Josh Bowler has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lamine Dabo on 62 minute.
  • 66' Elijah Adebayo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Carlton Morris on 66 minute.
  • 67' It is a substitution in Luton Town FC team. Mads Juel Andersen is replaced by Kal Naismith on 67 minute.
  • 72' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 76' Sunderland AFC make a change. Chris Rigg trudges off to be replaced by Eliezer Mayenda on 76 minutes.
  • 81' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 82' The Luton Town FC manager makes a substitution. Thelo Aasgaard departs to be replaced by Lasse Nordas.
  • 86' It is a substitution in Sunderland AFC team. Wilson Isidor is replaced by Salis Abdul Samed on 86 minute.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a card for Joseph Johnson.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Sunderland AFC 2-0 Luton Town FC.
