Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Sunderland AFC to score. At the same time, Wigan Athletic FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Curtis Tilt made 383 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' It looks surprising Sunderland AFC does not make any changes. Ajibola Alese has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Wigan Athletic FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' Elliot Embleton was booked on 25.
- 29' Wigan Athletic FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 34' The travelling Wigan Athletic FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 39' 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.
- 44' Goal! Charlie Wyke scores his 50 goal in 348 matches.
- 46' Sunderland AFC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Amad is hanging Lynden Gooch on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' 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 Jack Clarke suffering a number of foals already.
- 54' What an equalizer from Elliot Embleton!
- 59' 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.
