- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Sunderland AFC and Oxford United FC is underway.
- 5' Oxford United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sunderland AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 15' Oxford United FC is showing some good football. However, Oxford United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 16' Sunderland AFC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jobe Bellingham on 16.
- 21' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 23' Chris Mepham is having his name booked by the referee on 23.
- 28' Sunderland AFC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 33' 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 Ciaron Brown suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' It’s a booking for Sunderland AFC player. Wilson Isidor gets a card.
- 42' It looks surprising Sunderland AFC does not make any changes. Chris Mepham has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 46' Greg Leigh is replacing Idris El Mizouni for the Oxford United FC side.
- 51' It’s a booking for Oxford United FC player. Dane Scarlett gets a card.
- 56' 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.
- 61' Sunderland AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
- 63' GOAL! Wilson Isidor scores on 63. Assisted by Dan Neil
- 68' It’s high time Des Buckingham made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 73' 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.
- 76' Louie Sibley has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ruben Rodrigues on 76 minute.
- 77' That looks like a foul for a card for Louie Sibley.
- 78' The Sunderland AFC manager makes a substitution. Romaine Mundle departs to be replaced by Aaron Connolly.
- 81' Time for substitution for Oxford United FC. Dane Scarlett is replaced by Will Goodwin.
- 86' It looks like no one’s ball. Oxford United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 89' Tom Watson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Wilson Isidor on 89 minute.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Sunderland AFC players.
