Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Stadium of Light. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Southend United 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.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Southend United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' Luke O'Nien puts Sunderland AFC on the lead.
  • 25' The travelling Southend United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Southend United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' Mark Milligan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 64' The Southend United FC manager makes a substitution. Brandon Goodship departs to be replaced by Emile Acquah.
  • 69' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Elvis Bwomono made 89 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 73' Southend United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 73.
  • 78' Marc McNulty is replacing Will Grigg for the Sunderland AFC side.
