- 0' We are underway at Stadium of Light. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The travelling Swindon Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Sunderland AFC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 15' Swindon Town FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 20' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 25' Swindon Town FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' Sunderland AFC 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.
- 35' Callum McFadzean has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 4 appearances.
- 40' It looks surprising Swindon Town FC does not make any changes. Josh Scowen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Sunderland AFC and Swindon Town FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 50' 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 Brett Pitman suffering a number of foals already.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dion Conroy made 57 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 60' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 61' Aiden O'Brien gets the nod from Sunderland AFC. He replaces Lynden Gooch and will look to change the dynamic.
- 62' The Sunderland AFC bench stirs into life. Jordan Jones is withdrawn and Chris Maguire gets his opportunity.
- 67' With 0 assists to his name this season, Aiden McGeady is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sunderland AFC.
- 70' Against the run of play, Charlie Wyke has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 71' The whistle greets Dominic Thompson as he departs to be replaced by Hallam Hope.
- 73' Tyrese Omotoye gets the nod from Swindon Town FC. He replaces Brett Pitman and will look to change the dynamic.
- 78' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 82' The whistle greets Matthew Palmer as he departs to be replaced by Christopher Missilou.
- 87' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 90' Jack Diamond gets the nod from Sunderland AFC. He replaces Aiden McGeady and will look to change the dynamic.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Sunderland AFC to claim maximum points.
