Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Swindon Town FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It looks surprising Swindon Town FC does not make any changes. Anthony Grant has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Swindon Town FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 16' Swindon Town FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 19' The supporters are chanting for Jack Diamond. He replaces Jordan Willis on 19 minute.
  • 24' Sunderland AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 29' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 34' Swindon Town FC is showing some good football. However, Swindon Town FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 37' Goal! Charlie Wyke scores his 51 goal in 363 matches.
  • 42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sunderland AFC that had 363 games and scored 478 goals.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Johnny Smith. He replaces Diallang Jaiyesimi on 46 minute.
  • 51' Tyler Smith has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 56' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 57' What a strike from Chris Maguire! The score is 0-2.
  • 58' Swindon Town FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hallam Hope is hanging Tyler Smith on the field on 58 minute.
  • 63' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 68' 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.
  • 73' It’s high time Phil Parkinson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 78' Swindon Town 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.
  • 81' The referee shows Swindon Town FC player a Yellow card on 81.
  • 83' Jonathan Grounds was booked on 83.
  • 88' 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 Bailey Wright suffering a number of foals already.
  • 89' The supporters are chanting for Aiden O'Brien. He replaces Chris Maguire on 89 minute.
  • The final score is 0-2.
