Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Stadium of Light. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Ross Stewart, a Scotland forward, has 16 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Norwich City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 19' Norwich City FC ring the changes. Liam Gibbs has done his job and it is now time for Sam Byram to step up.
- 24' Tim Krul has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' It’s a booking for Sunderland AFC player. Dennis Cirken gets a Yellow card.
- 30' 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 Josh Sargent suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Luke O'Nien on 35 minutes.
- 40' 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.
- 45' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 50' Sunderland AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 60' The supporters are chanting for Todd Cantwell. He replaces Onel Hernandez on 60 minute.
- 65' Sunderland AFC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 70' It looks like no one’s ball. Sunderland AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 75' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 76' GOAL! Josh Sargent scores on 76.
- 77' Elliot Embleton gets the nod from Sunderland AFC. He replaces Alex Pritchard and will look to change the dynamic.
- 82' It’s high time Alex Neil made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 87' Another change for Sunderland AFC made on 87 minute. Corry Evans leaves to be changed by Patrick Roberts.
- 90' Controversy at the stadium! Josh Sargent argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- The final score is 0-1.
