Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Portsmouth FC gets underway.
- 5' 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.
- 7' Goal! Wilson Isidor scores his 37 goal in 422 matches.
- 12' Supporters expect more eagerness from Connor Ogilvie, as he is very good at scoring at Stadium of Light with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 17' Portsmouth FC is showing some good football. However, Portsmouth FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 22' 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.
- 27' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 32' Eliezer Mayenda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Yellow cards this season.
- 37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
- 42' 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 Patrick Roberts suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' The Sunderland AFC manager makes a substitution. Aji Alese departs to be replaced by Dennis Cirkin.
- 51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 56' Sunderland AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 58' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ryley Towler on 58.
- 63' Christian Saydee has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 64' The referee calls foul for Zak Swanson. He receives a card.
- 67' That looks like a foul for a card for Marlon Pack.
- 69' The Portsmouth FC manager makes a substitution. Zak Swanson departs to be replaced by Terry Devlin.
- 74' It looks like no one’s ball. Portsmouth FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 79' It looks surprising Portsmouth FC does not make any changes. Josh Murphy has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 80' The supporters are chanting for Milan Aleksic. He replaces Adil Aouchiche on 80 minute.
- 85' Sunderland AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 85.
- 87' Christian Saydee is replacing Andre Dozzell for the Portsmouth FC side.
- 90' The referee shows Sunderland AFC player a card on 90.
- 90' The supporters are chanting for Nazarii Rusyn. He replaces Eliezer Mayenda on 90 minute.
