Match Events

0' Welcome to Stadium of Light that hosts another battle between Sunderland AFC and Shrewsbury Town FC.
4' Elliot Embleton doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
9' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sunderland AFC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
13' What composure from Nathan Broadhead! The Wales international strokes it home. 2-0.
18' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dennis Cirken made 393 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
22' Jack Clarke has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 22.
27' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
28' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Elliott Bennett.
33' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sunderland AFC must find a spark to ignite this game.
37' The whistle greets Elliott Bennett as he departs to be replaced by Joshua Daniels.
42' Elliott Bennett is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sunderland AFC tonight.
47' With 1 assists to his name this season, Tom Bloxham is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Shrewsbury Town FC.
50' What a strike from Josh Vela! The score is 2-1.
55' It looks surprising Shrewsbury Town FC does not make any changes. Carl Winchester has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
58' What composure from Tom Flanagan! The Northern Ireland international strokes it home. 2-2.
62' The Sunderland AFC bench stirs into life. Elliot Embleton is withdrawn and Corry Evans gets his opportunity.
67' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
72' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shrewsbury Town FC that had 329 games and scored 385 goals.
77' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sunderland AFC and Shrewsbury Town FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
79' Time for substitution for Sunderland AFC. Lynden Gooch is replaced by Patrick Roberts.
84' The 33-year-old Aaron Pierre has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
86' Daniel Neil is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jay Matete at the 86 minute mark.
88' The crowd applauds Shaun Whalley as he leaves the pitch. Tom Bloxham steps in for Shrewsbury Town FC.
88' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Luke O'Nien on 88 minutes.
90' The referee shows Shrewsbury Town FC player a Yellow card on 90.
3-2 the final result. Shrewsbury Town FC will be bitterly disappointed.
