Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Middlesbrough FC gets underway.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 8' What composure from Daryl Dike! The USA international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 10' Daryl Dike has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 10 minutes.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Carlos Corberán will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 20' The 31-year-old Zack Steffen has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 40' Middlesbrough 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.
  • 44' Tommy Smith catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 44.
  • 49' The travelling Middlesbrough FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 50' Marc Albrighton gets the nod from West Bromwich Albion FC. He replaces Grady Diangana and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 57' Fresh legs for Middlesbrough FC! Dael Fry comes on to replace Paddy McNair.

  • 67' Middlesbrough FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 68' The Middlesbrough FC bench stirs into life. Marcus Forss is withdrawn and Aaron Ramsey gets his opportunity.
  • 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering West Bromwich Albion FC that had 377 games and scored 482 goals.
  • 78' Fresh legs for West Bromwich Albion FC! Brandon Thomas-Asante comes on to replace Daryl Dike.
  • 83' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
