  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Hull City
    • Middlesbrough
    • 92' Hull waste time near the corner flag through Marlon King and Bernard Mendy, and the whistle is blown for full-time. Ross Turnbull is inconsolable for Boro as the home side celebrate. It has finished in astonishing fashion - Hull City 2, Middlesbrough 1.
    • 90' Afonso Alves has a free-kick deflected and loop narrowly over the bar for Boro - the Brazilian striker has had another poor game today.
    • 88' A desperate scramble in the box almost results in Aliadiere stabbing home from close-range but he is denied by Turner's last-gasp tackle.
    • 85' Marlon King dispatches the spot-kick, despite Ross Turnbull guessing the right way, and Hull take the lead!
    • 85' This game has come to life in an incredible manner! After two quick goals, David Wheater brings down Geovanni in the box and is sent off - it's a penalty to Hull.
    • 82' GOAL!! Ross Turnbull is the unlucky scorer of an own goal as Mendy's driven shot rebound off the post and hits him in the back.
    • 79' GOAL!! Boro break through Justin Hoyte, who plays a neat one-two with Aliadiere before getting to the byline on the right and squaring it to Tuncay who taps in.
    • 78' The home side are bombarding the Boro box with crosses at present, clearly keen to test Turnbull's prowess in the air.
    • 75' Both Mendy and Cousin have looked bright after coming on for Hull. Turnbull is challenged by Mendy as he drops a cross, but is unduly protected by referee Steve Tanner. Tuncay is booked for unsporting behaviour.
    • 74' Aliadiere wastes a good chance after streaking through on goal, hitting his shot weakly at Boaz Myhill. The Frenchman is clearly Boro's most promising outlet on the break.
    • 71' It's now Gareth Southgate's turn to bawl out his players as Hull press forward yet again through Geovanni, with Zayatte heading wide from a corner.
    • 69' The Tigers are really coming back into this, Phil Brown's changes seem to have sparked some life into them.
    • 67' A superb weaving run from Geovanni, who then feeds the ball to King, but the big striker slashes his shot wide of Turnbull's near post.
    • 65' Geovanni, desperate to atone for his first-half misses, is dropping deeper and deeper to get involved as Hull remain under the cosh.
    • 62' A double change from Phil Brown sees Daniel Cousin and Bernard Mendy come on for Nick Barmby and Dean Marney.
    • 60' Boro have really come back into this and continue to press, deep within the Hull half; they need Afonso Alves to cut a more threatening figure in the box, however.
    • 58' Dean Marney has a good headed chance go over the bar after fine work from Nick Barmby down the left.
    • 57' An impeccably timed challenge by Zayatte, denies the onrushing Aliadiere when the winger was in full flight. A not so well-timed tackle from Ian Ashbee earns him a booking.
    • 55' Ian Ashbee is the latest player to go down, and stay down, after an aerial collision - David Wheater was the man on the other end of it, but both are back on their feet.
    • 52' The ominous and imposing figure of Dean Windass is warming up with some conviction down the touchline at the moment. Phil Brown must be used to ignoring the big striker's menacing glances, though.
    • 50' The game has descended into a midfield aerial battle at the moment, but hopefully we will see some more enterprising stuff imminently.
    • 48' A flashing Geovanni drive brushes the side-netting as he strikes with some venom from 25 yards out - good effort.
    • 46' The second half is underway at the KC Stadium and this game really needs an early goal.
    • 45+1' Referee Steve Tanner blows his whistle for half-time and the players head for the changing rooms with the score goalless; Geovanni, rightfully, looks rueful.
    • 45' Just the one minute to be added to a bizarre first half, full of missed chances but eventless in all actuality.
    • 45' Boro break through Afonso Alves, then Aliadiere gets down the right and crosses for Downing at the back edge of the penalty area but his shot hits the side-netting.
    • 44' Yet another Geovanni header goes wide as this time Nick Barmby gets down the left and cuts his cross back to the Brazilian. A potent finisher in the air would have bagged a hat-trick by now!
    • 41' Neat interplay between Paul McShane and Dean Marney down the right, results in a whipped cross to the back post which almost finds King - in his rightful spot - but David Wheater does well to clear.
    • 38' Hull are pressing appears unrelenting as, despite only having King as the lone striker, they manage to pile bodies forward in attack.
    • 36' In a role reversal which shows no sign of abating, Marlon King again drops off into a deep position to cross for Geovanni, but his header is poor - you have to feel King would be better suited in the box.
    • 33' Geovanni is then bundled over by Aliadiere on the very edge of the Boro box for what is a very dangerous free-kick. However, after an age of jostling in a petrified wall, the Brazilian's effort is deflected wide.
    • 31' A great chance for Geovanni goes awry as Marlon King crosses into the box to find the unmarked forward, but he doesn't take a touch and instead heads hopelessly wide.
    • 29' Now Dean Marney goes down clutching his achilles as he and Tuncay collide. The niggles are too frequent to keep track of at the KC, but none have appeared remotely malicious.
    • 26' Phil Brown continues to look agitated as Zayatte finds himself on the wrong end of a hard tackle once again; Aliadiere in the thick of things at both ends of the pitch.
    • 23' Aliadiere looks very sharp thus far and a typically pacey run at the heart of the Hull defence culminates in a tepid shot, but promising signs for Boro.
    • 21' A fine whipped cross by Marlon King down the left almost finds Nick Barmby in the box, but Ross Turbull does well to catch, with a certain tap-in looming.
    • 19' Hull are edging their way back into possession, although the game has become a bit scrappy of late.
    • 16' A horrible back-pass by Zayatte causes all manner of problems for Boaz Myhill, who just about manages to clear acrobatically, under pressure from Tuncay.
    • 14' Phil Brown is strutting up and down the touchline very anxiously as his team continue to be out-manoeuvered by the visitors.
    • 11' Sam Ricketts produces a fine run, then clatters Aliadiere as he loses it, while Kamil Zayatte is the second player to have his head bandaged. It's not a dirty game, but it looks like war out there.
    • 8' A slick one-two between the fleet of foot Stewart Downing and Tuncay down the left, but the England winger's shot was very tame.
    • 5' Didier Digard has a ghastly looking cut over his eye as a result of the goalmouth scramble. The midfielder returns with a dirty great bandage on his face, and he's good to go.
    • 3' The visitors are straight out of the traps and a number of players are culprits of grave missed chances; Downing flashing a cross into the Hull box which three Boro players contrived to miss, then Alves couldn't finish from Aliadiere's parried shot.
    • 1 Phil Brown and Gareth Southgate share in a touching embrace as their sides get underway. Out of both teams' last three games, five of the six have been drawn. That may not bode well for this match, but we remain hopeful!
    • - Welcome to this Premier League encounter between Hull City and Middlesbrough at the KC Stadium. Gareth Southgate has put out an attacking line-up in search of a much needed away win, with Tuncay supporting Afonso Alves and Jeremie Aliadiere; while Phil Brown begins with Daniel Cousin on the bench.
