Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Reading FC to score. At the same time, Sunderland AFC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' 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 Lucas Joao suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Loum Ndiaye has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 31 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' 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.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Sunderland AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' 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.
- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Reading FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 35' 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.
- 37' Time for substitution for Sunderland AFC. Ellis Simms is replaced by Elliot Embleton.
- 39' Sunderland AFC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Patrick Roberts on 39.
- 41' GOAL! Patrick Roberts scores on 41. Assisted by Elliot Embleton
- 46' Abdul Rahman Baba is replacing Loum Ndiaye for the Reading FC side.
- 51' Sunderland AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 56' The travelling Sunderland AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 61' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 61 minutes.
- 62' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ajibola Alese on 62.
- 65' Time for substitution for Reading FC. Sam Hutchinson is replaced by Yakou Meite.
- 69' GOAL! Jack Clarke scores on 69.
- 71' Reading FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 73' Another substitution for Sunderland AFC to replace Patrick Roberts by Jay Matete on 73 minute.
- 78' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Reading FC that had 378 games and scored 430 goals.
- 83' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alex Pritchard made 368 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 85' Time for substitution for Reading FC. Lucas Joao is replaced by Michael Craig.
- 90' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Reading FC.
