- 0' In just a few seconds Adams Park will turn into a battlefield for Wycombe Wanderers FC and Middlesbrough FC.
- 3' What a strike from Uche Ikpeazu! The score is 1-0.
- 8' Wycombe Wanderers 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.
- 13' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Middlesbrough FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 18' Adebayo Akinfenwa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 7 Yellow cards this season.
- 23' 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 David Wheeler suffering a number of foals already.
- 28' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 28 minutes.
- 30' Goal! Marcus Browne scores his 23 goal in 366 matches.
- 35' The travelling Middlesbrough FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 36' Middlesbrough FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Marcus Tavernier on 36.
- 41' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 43' Anis Mehmeti is having his name booked by the referee on 43.
- 48' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 383 games and scored 467 goals.
- 53' Middlesbrough FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 58' Time for substitution for Wycombe Wanderers FC. Anis Mehmeti is replaced by Scott Kashket.
- 63' Wycombe Wanderers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 63.
- 65' Middlesbrough FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 65.
- 66' The referee calls foul for Marc Bola. He receives a Yellow card.
- 69' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Marcus Bettinelli.
- 69' Another substitution for Wycombe Wanderers FC to replace Curtis Thompson by Dennis Adeniran on 69 minute.
- 70' Josh Knight was booked on 70.
- 71' It is a substitution in Middlesbrough FC team. Marcus Browne is replaced by Djed Spence on 71 minute.
- 76' It looks like no one’s ball. Middlesbrough FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 77' The Wycombe Wanderers FC manager makes a substitution. Daryl Horgan departs to be replaced by Fred Onyedinma.
- 81' What a strike from Chuba Akpom! The score is 1-3.
- 83' Marcus Tavernier was booked on 83.
- 88' 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.
- 89' The supporters are chanting for Britt Assombalonga. He replaces Chuba Akpom on 89 minute.
- Full Time. Middlesbrough FC beats Wycombe Wanderers FC
