Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at Stadium of Light. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
4' Goal! Elliot Embleton scores his 11 goal in 363 matches.
9' It looks like no one’s ball. Sunderland AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
13' Goal! Nathan Broadhead scores his 40 goal in 372 matches.
18' Shrewsbury Town FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
22' Sunderland AFC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 22.
27' The travelling Shrewsbury Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
28' It’s a booking for Shrewsbury Town FC player. Elliott Bennett gets a Yellow card.
33' It’s high time Alex Neil made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
37' Joshua Daniels is replacing Elliott Bennett for the Shrewsbury Town FC side.
42' Supporters expect more eagerness from Elliott Bennett, as he is very good at scoring at Stadium of Light with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
47' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 47 minutes.
50' Goal! Josh Vela scores his 10 goal in 318 matches.
55' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Shrewsbury Town FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
58' Goal! Tom Flanagan scores his 6 goal in 363 matches.
62' The whistle greets Elliot Embleton as he departs to be replaced by Corry Evans.
67' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
72' 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.
77' 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 Luke Leahy suffering a number of foals already.
79' Patrick Roberts is replacing Lynden Gooch for the Sunderland AFC side.
84' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
86' Daniel Neil has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jay Matete on 86 minute.
88' Another change for Shrewsbury Town FC made on 88 minute. Shaun Whalley leaves to be changed by Tom Bloxham.
88' Luke O'Nien is having his name booked by the referee on 88.
90' The referee shows Shrewsbury Town FC player a Yellow card on 90.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Sunderland AFC players.
