Events

Match Events

  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-4-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

  • 23' Controversy at the stadium! Chris Mepham argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Oxford United FC that had 372 games and scored 498 goals.
  • 33' Sunderland AFC have won 485 goals from 369 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 37' The referee calls foul for Wilson Isidor. He receives a card.

  • 63' A stunning finish from Wilson Isidor — that came from absolutely nowhere!

  • 89' Another change for Sunderland AFC made on 89 minute. Wilson Isidor leaves to be changed by Tom Watson.
  • 2-0 the final result. Oxford United FC will be bitterly disappointed.
