Events

Match Events

0' That's the starting whistle at Swansea.com Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Swansea City AFC and Sheffield United FC.
5' The travelling Sheffield United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
7' GOAL! Florian Bianchini scores on 7.
12' Sheffield United FC have won 436 goals from 366 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
17' It’s high time Luke Williams made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
20' Rhys Norrington-Davies picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
25' Swansea City 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.
30' It looks surprising Swansea City AFC does not make any changes. Myles Peart-Harris has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

47' Against the run of play, Rhian Brewster has scored! This game has turned on its head.
50' The referee calls foul for Harry Darling. He receives a card.
55' 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 Sam McCallum suffering a number of foals already.
60' The Swansea City AFC manager makes a substitution. Liam Cullen departs to be replaced by Kyle Naughton.
