Match Events

  • 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Walsall FC and Leicester City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 15' The 27-year-old Jacob Maddox has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

  • 29' Walsall FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 29.
  • 34' It looks surprising Walsall FC does not make any changes. Donervon Daniels has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 39' Leicester City FC is showing some good football. However, Leicester City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 44' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 49' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 49 minutes.
  • 54' Walsall 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.
  • 59' Robbie Willmott has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 62' Andrew Williams makes way for Conor Wilkinson at the 62 minute mark. A tactical switch from Walsall FC.

  • 80' Robbie Willmott makes way for Ronan Maher at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Walsall FC.
  • 85' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 90' Walsall FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Walsall FC and Leicester City FC (для сухой ничьи).
