Events

Match Events

0' Temperatures are rising at Liberty Stadium as Swansea City AFC face off against Stoke City FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
5' Swansea City AFC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
15' The travelling Stoke City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
20' Josh Tymon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
25' Stoke City FC have won 404 goals from 384 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
30' GOAL! Jay Fulton scores on 30.
35' 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 Freddie Woodman suffering a number of foals already.
40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
45' It looks surprising Stoke City FC does not make any changes. Kyle Naughton has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
46' Angus Gunn has so much to prove this time. He replaces Adam Davies on 46 minute.
51' A moment of madness from Tommy Smith on 51 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Stoke City FC will be frustrated.
53' Matt Grimes picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
58' Swansea City AFC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
63' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Swansea City AFC and Stoke City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
66' The supporters are chanting for Tyrese Campbell. He replaces Josh Tymon on 66 minute.
71' Swansea City AFC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Adam Idah scoring 1 goals.
74' The Swansea City AFC manager makes a substitution. Ryan Manning departs to be replaced by Jake Bidwell.
79' Swansea City AFC is showing some good football. However, Swansea City AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
81' Another substitution for Stoke City FC to replace Morgan Fox by Steven Fletcher on 81 minute.
84' The referee has no hesitation. James McClean is booked for Stoke City FC — Yellow card on 84.
85' That is a Yellow card for Swansea City AFC. Kasey Palmer will be fuming at that decision.
87' The deadlock is broken! Kasey Palmer gets on the scoresheet on 87 minutes.
87' A meaty challenge results in booking for Angus Gunn on 87.
Stoke City FC will have plenty to reflect on. Swansea City AFC were simply the better side today.
