- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Wigan Athletic FC and Hull City AFC get this one started.
- 5' 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 Will Grigg suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Wigan Athletic FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 21' A goal from the Egypt international Sam Morsy! He fires home on 21 to make it 1-0!
- 26' Hull City AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 26.
- 30' Eric Lichaj is having his name booked by the referee on 30.
- 35' Controversy at the stadium! Josh Windass argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.

- 62' A change in the Hull City AFC ranks — Nouha Dicko exits the field as Fraizer Campbell enters on 62.

- 72' Poor challenge from Fraizer Campbell. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 75' The crowd applauds Kevin Stewart as he leaves the pitch. Kamil Grosicki steps in for Hull City AFC.
- 80' Hull City AFC is showing some good football. However, Hull 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.
