Match Events

- 5' Luke O'Nien has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 37 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' Gillingham 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.
- 25' Gillingham FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Danny Lloyd on 25.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Gillingham FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' It’s high time Steve Evans made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 40' Sunderland AFC is showing some good football. However, Sunderland AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 43' Sunderland AFC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 48' GOAL! Aiden O'Brien scores on 45.
