- 23' Max Power puts Sheffield Wednesday FC on the lead.

- 33' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 38' Supporters expect more eagerness from Will Keane, as he is very good at scoring at DW Stadium with 16 goals in the last 13 games.
- 39' Callum Paterson was booked on 39.

- 80' Sheffield Wednesday 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.

- 83' The whistle greets Jaden Brown as he departs to be replaced by Olamide Shodipo.
