Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Sunderland AFC gets underway.
- 5' Sunderland AFC 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.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sunderland AFC that had 348 games and scored 402 goals.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Callum Doyle made 348 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 36' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alex Pritchard, as he is very good at scoring at Stadium of Light with 4 goals in the last 3 games.
- 41' 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 Aiden O'Brien suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Alex Gilbey.
- 49' It looks surprising Sunderland AFC does not make any changes. Adam Matthews has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 54' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
