Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Plymouth Argyle FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ryan Hardie, as he is very good at scoring at Riverside Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 12' GOAL! Finn Azaz scores on 12.
- 17' What an equalizer from Mustapha Bundu!
- 22' 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 Rav van den Berg suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 32' Plymouth Argyle 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.
- 37' 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.
- 42' It’s high time Michael Carrick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Julio Pleguezuelo on 45.
- 50' 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.

- 88' Tymoteusz Puchacz is replacing Julio Pleguezuelo for the Plymouth Argyle FC side.
