Fisrt Half Begins at Monlineux Stadium
3' Ashley-Seal chases a long ball forward into space behind the defence, but Romero comes charging all the way out of his box to head clear.
Neither side has yet stamped their authority on proceedings, with plenty of turnovers of possession in mieldfield.
A clever touch from Greenwood from the end of the box nearly releases Chong into the box, but the latter is crowded out on the ball and the danger is diffused as the youngster commits a cheap on this yet, however.
Plenty of sloppy passes on display from both teams so far as they gift possession to each other.
Nobody has managed to capitalise on this yet, however
No penlaty! Dendoncker gets himself in a muddle as the ball runs through to him, allowing Williams to nip in and appearing to bring the full-back down in the box! However, the referee gives nothing and VAR confirms his decision!
A corner is worked to Nerves on the edge of the box and he srikes an effort towards the top-right corner, but his fierce drive is just over the bar.
WIDE! Lindelof steps up from the back finds Mata on the edge of the box, He works a yard cleverly and feeds James but the winger drives his effort well wide, snatching at the shot somewhat.
OVER! Lindelof meets a Mata corner at the near post but can only flick his header up into the air and it loops over the bar and lands on the roof of the net.
