Events

Match Events

0' It’s Showtime! The match between Swansea City AFC and Middlesbrough FC is underway.
5' Joel Piroe has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 4 goals to his name this season.
10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Chris Wilder will be considering his options from the bench.
15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Swansea City AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
25' A quiet spell here at Swansea.com Stadium. Middlesbrough FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
30' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Swansea City AFC and Middlesbrough FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
35' Middlesbrough FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kyle Naughton made 398 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
45' It looks like no one’s ball. Middlesbrough FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
47' Goal! Riley McGree scores his 37 goal in 212 matches.
48' What composure from Michael Obafemi! The Ireland international strokes it home. 1-1.
53' Flynn Downes is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Middlesbrough FC tonight.
58' England international Jonathan Howson has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
63' The travelling Middlesbrough FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
65' The supporters are chanting for Aaron Connolly. He replaces Duncan Watmore on 65 minute.
66' Andraz Sporar has so much to prove this time. He replaces Josh Coburn on 66 minute.
71' It looks surprising Middlesbrough FC does not make any changes. Isaiah Jones has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
72' Fresh legs for Swansea City AFC! Jules Ntcham comes on to replace Ryan Manning.
77' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Swansea City AFC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
82' Middlesbrough FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 82.
84' Controversy at the stadium! Hannes Wolf argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
87' Cyrus Christie has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 87.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
