- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Stadium of Light!
- 5' 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.
- 10' Norwich City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 19' Time for substitution for Norwich City FC. Liam Gibbs is replaced by Sam Byram.
- 24' Norwich City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 24.
- 25' Dennis Cirken catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 25.
- 30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sunderland AFC and Norwich City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 35' That is a Yellow card for Sunderland AFC. Luke O'Nien will be fuming at that decision.
- 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
- 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sunderland AFC and Norwich City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 55' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 60' Todd Cantwell gets the nod from Norwich City FC. He replaces Onel Hernandez and will look to change the dynamic.
- 65' The travelling Norwich City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 70' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 75' 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 Andrew Omobamidele suffering a number of foals already.
- 76' What a strike from Josh Sargent! The score is 0-1.
- 77' The Sunderland AFC bench stirs into life. Alex Pritchard is withdrawn and Elliot Embleton gets his opportunity.
- 82' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 87' The Sunderland AFC manager makes a substitution. Corry Evans departs to be replaced by Patrick Roberts.
- 90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Josh Sargent.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
