Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Sunderland AFC gets underway.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Dion Sanderson, as he is very good at scoring at Stadium of Light with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 10' Mansfield Town FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 15' Farrend Rawson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' Mansfield Town FC have won 89 goals from 109 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 24' Sunderland AFC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 25' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Danny Graham on 25 minutes.
- 30' Mansfield Town FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 34' The referee shows Mansfield Town FC player a Yellow card on 34.
- 39' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sunderland AFC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 44' 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 Callum McFadzean suffering a number of foals already.
- 49' George Lapslie makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Mansfield Town FC are in front.
- 54' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 55' A moment of madness from Malvind Benning on 55 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Mansfield Town FC will be frustrated.
- 60' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 65' The whistle greets Chris Maguire as he departs to be replaced by Elliot Embleton.
- 66' Fresh legs for Sunderland AFC! Charlie Wyke comes on to replace Danny Graham.
- 71' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 75' A tactical swap from Sunderland AFC — Aiden O'Brien on, Callum McFadzean off on 75 minutes.
- 80' 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.
- 81' Mansfield Town FC make a change. Nicky Maynard trudges off to be replaced by Corey O'Keeffe on 81 minutes.
- 86' 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.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Mansfield Town FC players.
