Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Adams Park. Wycombe Wanderers FC are looking to make home advantage count against Middlesbrough FC.
  • 3' Against the run of play, Uche Ikpeazu has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 8' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 13' With 0 assists to his name this season, Chuba Akpom is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Middlesbrough FC.
  • 18' 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.
  • 23' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 28' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 30' A stunning finish from Marcus Browne — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 35' Wycombe Wanderers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 36' Marcus Tavernier makes no mistake. The score reads 1-2 and Middlesbrough FC are in front.
  • 41' Middlesbrough FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 41.
  • 43' That is a Yellow card for Wycombe Wanderers FC. Anis Mehmeti will be fuming at that decision.
  • 48' Wycombe Wanderers FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Middlesbrough FC's shape.
  • 53' It looks surprising Wycombe Wanderers FC does not make any changes. Djed Spence has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 58' The supporters are chanting for Scott Kashket. He replaces Anis Mehmeti on 58 minute.
  • 63' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Wycombe Wanderers FC and Middlesbrough FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 65' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Marc Bola on 65 minutes.
  • 66' Marc Bola was booked on 66.
  • 69' A meaty challenge results in booking for Marcus Bettinelli on 69.
  • 69' A tactical swap from Wycombe Wanderers FC — Dennis Adeniran on, Curtis Thompson off on 69 minutes.
  • 70' Controversy at the stadium! Josh Knight argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 71' Middlesbrough FC ring the changes. Marcus Browne has done his job and it is now time for Djed Spence to step up.
  • 76' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Britt Assombalonga made 396 appearances and scored 37 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 77' Fred Onyedinma is ready to make an impact after coming on for Daryl Horgan at the 77 minute mark.
  • 81' What a strike from Chuba Akpom! The score is 1-3.
  • 83' Marcus Tavernier 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 Fred Onyedinma suffering a number of foals already.
  • 89' Another substitution for Middlesbrough FC to replace Chuba Akpom by Britt Assombalonga on 89 minute.
  • 1-3 the final result. Wycombe Wanderers FC will be bitterly disappointed.
