middles have played through it quite fantastically eing he's going to stride out of the bur defense coming forward looking for an option in Finch on that right hand side he's coming away with the ball good piece of Play Good defending though there from Burger Long ball played forward with a goalkeeper come out he does very similar to Johansson good sweeper keeping there from Vin was a long ball over the top looking for for M the goalkeeper does fantastically well to come out and to really clear his lines so he'll be a throwing for the visitors be play will go back unfortunately still on the ball Middlesboro they're not pressing as high as Stu it's a long pass to yanson so C and cool and compos is the Stoke number one there just takes it down on his chest does the Swedish goalkeeper sign this summer from RAM for a million pound one appearance for Sweden on the 12th of October 2023 so it's a national experienced goalkeeper stroker flying forward good ball into the area will it be dealt with Brun has to come out there good command of his area but down the left hand side St got a bit of Joy there came away with an opportunity to put a ball into the area that's exactly what they did tez gel wanted to just whip one him across the front post it was good goalkeeping from Solomon Brin to come out of his area sixy area if you will K claim the ball nice confidence now middles Brook back on the ball aing will go all the way back to Brin into Clark slow patient build up from middlesbor We're approaching half an hour in burgly won the ball there the referee gives a free kick away of maab high pressed [Music] worked have fre just inside their own area but we are halfway 30 minutes just past 30 minutes I should say into this efl cup round two game at the Riverside it's independent off tube Studio commentary of the game ST leading 1 n thanks to the 14th minute strike from Turkish youngster em tezgel what a piece of Play It Was down the right hand side linking up well it was good ball in to the back post from kumas he had a few Runners that had just overrun there run the the Paul was in behind not in behind the number 37 for Stoke just positioned his body well took a good touch good strike at goal Brin was came out made himself look big fantastic finish from The Young stok player and they have the lead thanks to that good chances though from either side only a minute later tzg if the ball maybe had fell a bit more kindly for him could have made it 2-0 and got his brace was a lovely piece of play from tesel open his body up at a try goal which was then deflected away I think middlesbor just switched off they thought it was going out for a corner but it was kept in playing the ball was put back into the middle felt a really awkward angle for tesel to put it back into the net for a second time this evening they just trickled out for a goal kick and since then middlesbor have had a lot of possession they've had a lot of the ball yet to really open Stoke up in that time but inside around five minutes they had the best chance of the game before the goal for TZ gel there was a ball put in behind to cor bur number 19 leading the N leading the line tonight for Middlesboro one-on-one opportunity and good goalkeeping by Johanson to come out and make himself big but Co missed the target entirely like to think that if the goalkeeper comes out makes himself big and it's a good finish but the keeper saves it because he's come out and done well and it was strikker done all they could Co bur put it wide I think Co bur if he would have gets that a second time youngers putting that away but around 15 minutes until half time so good for their lead M as I say have had a lot of the ball but Stu with what they have had of the ball have done fantastically well with it 67% of possession for Michael Carrick side goal attempts for for Bur six for The Potters shots on goal that's the Difference Maker zero out of four for middlesbor one out of six for stalk and the one that was on target was the important one in the goal and the Difference Maker two Corner kicks so far for Stoke Zero from middlesbor yet to be an offside in in this game once again back in possession with brining goal he will clear it long looking for [Music] Coburn curn use the ball it make it way all the way to the right side to eing he will win a free kick for his side and we are underway with all of the 745 games in the efl cup round three we've had an early goal as well RAM have taken the lead at home to Fleetwood flying out of the gates of the visitors there Middlesboro they're looking for maybe be a goal to take with them into half time we got 10 minutes away from that but think the earlier they can get that the better maybe they can grab one and then go and grab a goal to take the lead you never know but Stoke have the ball down this right hand side dink long looking for K be able to get there he gets a beaten of Clark but Clark struggles and he fights back and he wins the ball well does the bur number five conck back to Clark he's seing a lot of the ball as the middleb Central Defender coming forward now AB down this right hand side earing back to hunt and ster hunting this mid side down a really good high press back to Brin just try and slow the play down once again back in possession in the middle of the field Bessa basa into the middle to play to the right hand side good piece of play and Bas has got the ball here can he unleash Finch down the right hand side C good defending from sto Hamilton on the ball down this left hand flank once again back to Clark coburns Dro deep one two with Clark mention his name a lot this evening so far the midb center back good piece of the defending but chances on the ball for the midb central Defender made it way to the right hand side to earing good balling to Gilbert now to clear it along no is taken that time once again you'll hear this mentioned a lot Clark back to goalkeeper bin balassa being hunted down there by Moran Clark looking for his options good switch a play to the right hand side to aen bounced awkwardly for the captain but he's done well to keep possession into Gilbert ball from Alien looking for Coburn but will hunt it down but Dixon will get it back to Johansson and Johansson once again will clear it long one in the middle of the field by balasa who will try and head it back the way of one of the forwards with they all offside never getting back in in due time Johanson with the ball in his hands to the right hand side Phillips he's had a good defensive performance so far Johansson gets the ball back in his own area strides out into Dixon burer holding the captain's arm bound this evening for St is the Dutch mid Fielder bring out to the right hand side off FL off side flag has gone up the on kumas he's got an assist so far for his troubles this evening down the right hand side and he'd like to think that L his chances up against Momi the 19y old starting at left back he goes back to his goalkeeper into hunt will to bring the ball out of Defence into ear and back to the goalkeeper the last time brought you an update on possession it was 67% for midb and prob see maybe ticking over into the 70% haven't really lost the ball since then aing down this right hand side keeping a little whip on the flanks of the fullbacks in mccomic and aing Clark he will whip it out to left side to mccomic a lot of space for the young out to stretch out this team into Hamilton he's taking up a space in the half space he's bring it onto his fav with right boot it goes all the way back himself the ball with Gilbert on the edge of the area now he's got aen making on the right hand side he uses him dings one into front post to fin good volley on strike at goal better save by Johansson he just keeps his middle side at Big good performance good cross in there from alen was met by Finch at the front post on the volley Johanson he shouldn't get beaten at your front post you always say is a goalkeeper I think made a good save and now middlesbor on the ball looking to work it around mck with First Strike goal it fell well for him but well over the bar he's always leaning back he will go out for a snoke goal kick but that was a fantastic chance there midd were to open up the scoring for themselves for the hosts St still hold the lead and on the 38th minute Mark Stoke will have the goal kick from Johansson just waiting for him to take the goal kick move the ball well middles Brook Gilbert coming down the center of the field assuming a free kick referee says yes good opportunity for the horse now Gilbert was flying forward he has Hamilton on his Left Flank and him Finch on the right curn with a supporting forward run as well but it's a dangerous area for so to concede this free kick be around 30 yards out maybe an awkward angle when you do look at it's not far out enough to ding one into the box but it's [Music] also a little bit far out for someone saying oh I like my like my chances at this and I'll have a strike at goal so it could be for an interesting option here to see who will take it will be Bassa number four for Middlesboro just waiting for the referee signal to take this free kick with the right Bo of the number four referee's whistle has gone just waiting now the wall ready be ready for the free kick to be taken do deflect off of the wall was a good Stoke City wall as well Johansson just giving a round of applause see his wall and his defense there but took a deflection off the wall that means it will stay with middles bro it will stay with another set piece will be Gilbert to out to the right hand side be an outswinger be the first corner of the evening four midds run Michael Carrick side see the fans they're cheering on their side they like a go before halftime whipped into the front post it takes a reflection away and cleared long by Stoke hunts all the way back in his own half stalking bodies out quickly and trying to press high this middleb defense as they've got the ball Bassa good turn away from his man whips it out to the right hand side into Gilbert he got Finch running forward just Tad off side Bas will he look for the switcher play against it goes to his right to earing plays it into his Central Defender Clark to Gilbert back to this right hand side Finch a good run he's got aen for support very slow pace right now from Middlesboro ball from Gilbert into the path of Hamilton can he equalize good goalkeeping from Johansson once again he came out made himself big it was a good opportunity from Hamilton there good ball from Gilbert in behind this Stoke City defense once again that's where they can be got that but it was good to see from Johansson Clark with a forward R he keeps going going and going the central Defender and eventually in the end it's Phillips who gets a tackle gets a boot in clears it away as middlesbury will once again as you'd expect will have possession of the ball inside their own half MSB you'd like to think would probably if not most definitely have a goal and be on the scoreboard if not from Fantastic goalkeeping from Johansson in the stroke City goal Bassa to the left hand side to Hamilton he just had that chance moments ago into McCormick coming forward down his left hand flank Phillips tackles him number 37 wins a free kick for his side and a good opportunity down this left hand side for MB to put a good ball in would be Bassa he took the free kick almost deflected off the wall and now he will take it on his left hand side it's a good opportunity for a right footer to maybe whip one into the back post throw bodies into the box mills but can here and try and cause chaos St City quite a High Line in their own area on the Penalty Box Coburn and in the air from basa referee says good to go whips one in will Johansson come to claim he do come to claim but he comes to clear away with a fist punches it away MB though will still have the momentum it's a throwing down the right hand side for Carrick side the hosts clar back to Brin coming forward now down this right hand side trying to come forward now pushing it forward and they've lost the ball Dixon in his own area good piece of play there from the defender he will clear it away though and heing pressing High good press from the Middlebrook Captain there results in them winning the ball back but PA touch from that and it goes out for a throwing the visitors down this left hand side on throw hunt will come and claim the ball good piece of Play From The Defender there back to his goalkeeper her away though back to hunt he'll look to stride out of defense and he's doing well is number 41 we've got two 41s defense Dixon for the visitors and hunt for the hosts Dixon that man wearing 41 for Stoke on the ball now back to his goalkeeper yoh Hanssen just at a walking pace now looking to slow things down into Dixon approaching the 45th minute now so closing in on the latter stages of halim can we get an equalizer later on in the first 45 from Middlesboro or WIll Stoke take a one- nil halftime lead after that 14 minute strike from youngster tgel ball up top offside though for Stoke one minute on valed time so approaching halim Preston are leading away at Harrier L Orient leading at the Den one nil QPR have taken a goal lead at home to Luton R from still one n leaders visit in Fleetwood there the only goes on the board so far Crawley did have one rule out if I am correct in their visit to Brighton Fleetwood might have a late equalizer I sayate equalizer actually it's an early equalizer because it's our game that's getting on in time Fleet would have leveled the playing field one all at home to R in the 16th minute but that is it for the first half at the Riverside of France IC Fast and Furious open in 15 or 20 minutes in Stoke they were able to take advantage of it a goal in the 14th minute from youngster EMR TZ

it's a warm welcome back and we're underway for the second half of the early kickoff in the efl cup second round Middlesboro hosting Stoke a Fast and Furious start from Michael Carrick side throwing plays forward it's ended up you guessed it with that man Matthew Clark at the back number five for middles brother Central Defender the left footer coming away with the ball switch of play to the right hand side now they're coming forward with purpose Middlesboro into mckb into balassa tries to switch the play to Hamilton good pressing there though from stok City looking at it there have been a few changes in the in the game for Middlesboro no changes for stoke the 11 that are currently one goal to the good so quite clearly Steven haker he's quite happy with his side and maybe he'll make changes later on in the second half but I will bring you the updates just as soon as midb come forward here ball into the air it's falling for fin can he bring it back on his right but he can and he Sky the opportunity he goes way wide he swung at the ball he didn't look ready to get a shot on goal but good defending from Dixon and Phillips two Defenders two Central Defenders ens sure that pressure was put on Finch and the ball went wide a good ball into the area from the right hand side Coburn have a good touch back into Finch was a good first touch to bring it back onto his left boot but he wanted it on his right took a fake back off of his left onto his right and by the time he did that stalker got bodies back into the area and then he just he sliced his shot wide fortunately leaning back and just screams of a player who that's his first chance of the evening where maybe some like Coburn or of a player like Hamilton who had a few chances and that's a bit of roasting this a from Finch but the two changes Captain aing off and Dyke Steel on and mccomic off and Engel onto the field so a few changes number 40 number 27 coming onto the field for 49 and number 15 on for number 12 they're the only changes in the middlesbor side they can be maybe just that kick those those fresh legs heing did start at the weekend as well as tonight so legs will be very important in this game and Squad depth is always important when you want to go go far in the cups maybe the full back area is a place it maybe Michael Carrick feels that just need those fresh legs and a different for of of player onto the field of play but like Steel on the ball goes back in a lovely switch of player from balesa looks for Angel into Hamilton good piece of play there and it'll be cleared long and Stoke of bod his forward fantastic tackle there from Clark but it's one back in the middle by sad and then Hamilton wins it back for Middlesboro now the coun is on for the host down the right hand side to Finch good defending there will he come away with a ball it will end up in the thankful arms of Victor Johansson in go Bap with fantastic piece to defending to stop pinch and then a touch that played Finch in came off of bat and just Tri into the arms of Johansson so the two changes McCormick and Engel the first one ailing off D Steel on for Middlesboro the 11 for Michael Carrick brenen go dick steel hunt Clark Engel balasa maab the Midfield 2 Finch Gilbert Hamilton Coburn leading the line for middlesbor they steel going forward into Gilbert had a good first half for Middlesboro into Coburn he play into the right hand side good piece of play but one well and now Stoke they can come forward for them it's Johansen in goal to shadu at right back Phillips Dixon bat Berger SB the Midfield two Moran in the middle on the right kumas on the left the go scorer tzel the line Ryan M coming forward now into M can he hold it off onto the left hand side to G if he could have got more power is for himself the P just didn't have that that pace and that phase on it that that you would like but the positives for St is they do have a corner out of this just checking the scores elsewhere Blackburn have one goal lead against blackpole Brighton leading at home to Crawley Fleet would have turned it around 2-1 against ram so we've got goals trickling in in the efl cup round two Grimsby leading it home to Chef Wednesday Preston leading away to harri Laton or still holding that lead Q Luton w a piece Watford have the lead at home to Pou Fulham two up away to Birmingham and Crystal Palace leading Norwich at sellur Park Corner whipped in cleared away it will be hacked away all the way back to Johansson in goal for Stoke so just a bit of a reset there go back and and build up once again when you do look at scores think that Leicester they're home to tr me Everton on the Doncaster that's gust the Premier League teams currently being held by their lower league opposition at home on this Tuesday evening stalk have just won a free kick inside the Run Dixon happily to go back to Johansen in goal Phillips back to his goalkeeper the Swedish International make him one of appearance for his National side of Johansson and he's been a real game changer and a game winner if St can get into the next round so far long ball up to tesel headed on into the path of Moran good ball into the path of kumas can he go for a stri go and he do into the side net in a real acute angle there for the number 11 Lis kumas to have a striker goal and bring the goalkeeper did well to come out of his area was a fantastic pass from Moran number 24 into the number 11 and he just can't get his left footed effort to curl fur back paw pass out and tesel can get on the end of this can't Paul first touch it was a ball out from the left hand side to the right hand side it was a switch of play and tesel was alert to the situation if his first judge would been better or maybe if he could just have read the bounce of the ball the bounce could have gone his way that would have been almost just a one an opportunity for T gel to take a few touches and running on goal H coming out trying to bring the ball out of the fence again stalker trying to press High mcab coming away with the ball into Hamilton he's being fouled but Hamilton comes away with the advantage he's got enel to his left hand side on the overlap he uses the substitute will he put the ball back in no goes back back into Hamilton he looks to go for go ball played back into Hamilton at one two and good ball from baras but there's just too much on it and once again fantastic goalkeeping from Johansson alert concentrated comes out claims the ball really well must be very confidence booster for the stalk City Defenders that you goalkeeper he's happy to come out and and claim the ball good sweeper keeper he's going to boost the confidence of that backfall you know the goalkeeper in behind you is a confident one in himself now flying forward bokat down this left hand side into goal scorer tesel he's continued his run as bat can he find him and it's just too much on it from Tes gal good defending from Clark to just see it out and it will go out for a middleb goal kick taken quickly by Bren to Clark and once again though you can see that front four of stalk city as well as a two midfielders in Sadi being Captain Burger they're really pressing High when mids were look to play out from the back away to Harrier that could be game done on the stroke of halime already MB come forward here Gilbert's flying forward gliding forward if you will still with the ball Coburn tries to come back with it good tackle from Phillips good solid defending from Stoke even though they want to press High when middlesbor have the ball in their own first third they are quite happy to sit back and defend low and sit compact to make it difficult for Mid to find Space through them it's been a lively opening close to 10 minutes or so at the Riverside in this second half nice steal into curn coming forward can he turn it back back and it's good turn to get away from Dixon trans for one to with Gilbert Gilbert does put it back into the path of the forward he just tries to pull it into the back Po and just too much on it Angel does fantastically well to keep it in play plays it to maab number 49 for bur clacked away there by touu all the way to H momentum is building for Middlesboro they are getting more forward areas in the war in the first half a lot of possession but this time it looks a little bit more less possession for possession sake and they looky to come forward ball out to the left hand side is one well by kumas Hamilton looking to try and track back gives away a throw in the process from the right hand side just inside Middlesboro half for Stoke to Come Away with flips into Dixon against stuck they do also want to play out from the back but they're less obsessed if you will with having the ball they also want to play from the back but they are quite happy to go longer or just play longer balls up forward s looks a dink one to the right hand side good touch from kumas can he get away from Clark here he does he set up the first goal can he set up another one ball back into the middle and it's a striker goal and it's a second goal for stalk City lovely piece of Play It's Ryan M King himself on the score sheet lovely piece of down the right hand side k Master thinks one into Mor he pulls one back and the forward is in the right place at the right time he makes it Stoke City to middles Brill and I'll just on the stroke of the hour Mark we're rounding the 57th minute at the Riverside could be for the last half and hour or so where MDB have to throw bodies forward you'd like to think that stalk would be quite happy if that does end up going that way that could create spacing behind they've got the pace of Moran tzel and kumas and fantastic finishing ability there of MIM as you quite see that they're quite happy to do that all night long but after maybe the curse of the commentator right there I spoke about Middlesboro building momentum and looking good and then with a fantastic piece of counterattacking Play It's the visitors it's The Potters who make it 2-0 number 19 Ryan M gets himself on the score sheet it's two to the good for the visitors only a few days ago though midb were down and they got a lay equalize it to make it two all so they went down 2 N they were down 1 n 1-1 2-1 then brought it back to 22 so they are very happy to try and get back a two all draw FS to Kil butt here he's coming forward Le go for a striker go he will forces a fantastic save out of your Hanson but Middlesboro will get the corner momentum and pressure will still go the way of the hosts taken quickly into Hamilton he'll fall for Gilbert on the edge of the area once again he'll go for a strike gold deflected away stoker trying to get bodies out hunt heads it into the path of Hamilton is he offside referee says no Bassa he'll look to dink one in into Clark he'll be clear the way back to Hilt on his left hand side Stoke under a little bit of pressure now that they've got to deal with basa maab he looks to dink one into the middle Clark into Gilbert D steel out to the right side to Finch 39 trying for one two into Gilbert trying to unlock this Compact and sturdy Stoke City defense KN SE goes down and dicks some on the ball he just gets a clip on his heels from Dy steel I that was I think Dy steel was down and if anything trying to get back to his feet and D Dixon has taken a clip to the heels and gone down and I think stalk be rather happy with that they've been able just to have this free kick in their own area and and just slow play down with that to come forward now the hosts about to approach half time in a lot of the other games kicked off at the latest start time know early kickoff 7:15 so will be done a little bit earlier than the rest of the efl cup round two games lovely switcher play to the left hand side and a whipped ball into the back post and stalk City made it 3-0 out of absolutely nowhere it was a switcher play out to left hand side to B and he absolutely whips one into the back post you thought that he gone through a few players I think kumas was one of the players you thought that he wasn't going to get there at the back post but he flung his body into it and he's got a touch in the back post and he's beaten Solomon Brin in goal and two quick fire goals in the second half in the 58th and the 61st minute and stok City have taken this game away from Middlesboro three goals to nil they now win by and it all came from unfortunately that free kick poly given away by substitute Dyke Steel in in The Stoke City penalty era and it's made it way out to bat number 17 the left back on his left hand side and there was just no one marking him Dyk Ste I don't think had got back in position and then he just takes a few touches gets his head up he sees he's got a few bodies making fantastic runs into the area and kumas the man who set up tesel for his opener in the stroke of the 14th minute on the stroke of the hour mark kumas is the man who puts the ball in the back of the net this time what a goal from Stoke City and it looks like they will be making some substitutes as well we bring you the updates I believe it is the go score kumas is making his way confirmation on who will will be replaced by and any other substitutes that come that way it looks like M will will be the second one so so far we've got kumas and Mer be leaving the field the second and third goal scorers for stalk City who will the third one be it will be all three goal scorers it looks like TZ gel the young Turkish midfielder will be coming off the field so the goal scorers of all three to G open the scoring about five six minutes ago we may go on the score sheet and just as we're about to kick off M got the third for Stu City three different goal scorers real positive evening so far for The Potters they're all off the pitch though bring a confirmation of who will be coming onto the field of play for Stoke City but those are the three players off as we just wait for midb to to get us going again ready for kickoff with curn to takeen middles will make a few changes as well I think seeing who it will be be Finch and Hamilton who will be leaving the field of play again just waiting to see who will be coming on it is independent off tube Studio commentary of this second round clash in the efl cup middleb hosting Stoke City goals in
