Middlesbrough vs Everton

1. 93'

   And that is full time at the Riverside, with the points shared, leaving Everton now seven points clear of city rivals Liverpool and eight clear of Boro in that crucial fourth and final Champions League position.

2. 92'

   And the game appears to be heading for a draw, which on reflection, would be a fair result.

3. 91'

   The fourth official has indicated that there will be three minutes of time to be added on at the end of this second period.

4. 90'

   However, the left-wing coner is again disappointing and headed clear at the near post by Pistone.

5. 89'

   Confusion in the Everton defence between Stubbs and Wright, who wanted to claim the ball, but his skipper was taking no chances and gives away a corner.

6. 88'

   A second change by Everton, who take off Beattie and bring on McFadden.

7. 87'

   A late half-chance for Bent to win the game for Everton, but his close control lets him down when he was clean through on goal, allowing Southgate to get back and clear his lines.

8. 86'

   Zenden has yet another shot from distance, but this time it is wild and goes high over Wrights crossbar.

9. 85'

   Huge claims for a penalty by Everton after Queudrue appeared to handle Bent's left-wing cross.

10. 84'

    Cahill got injured during that last corner under a challenge from Schwarzer and is being rorced to leave the field of play, to be replaced by Naysmith.

11. 83'

    And, from the resulting corner, Schwarzer again makes a hash of claiming the centre under pressure from Ferguson, but somehow Boro scramble the ball to safety.

12. 82'

    Everton come inches away from taking the lead after Queudrue deflects Cahill's speculative shot from distance inches past his own post with Schwarzer rooted to his line.

13. 81'

    A great opening for Downing at the back post, but having taken the ball down well and created space, the winger blazes his shot over the bar.

14. 80'

    Referee Gallagher takes the sensible decison and simply calls together both skippers for a talking to, and does not book any players.

15. 79'

    An almighty fight breaks out after Schwarzer drops Carsley's corner at the feet of Ferguson, who then goes for the loose ball and appears to catch the keeper, before virtually every player ends up in the net in the mother of all melees.

16. 78'

    And the visitors have won themselves a left-wing corner, with Boro looking extremely nervous at present.

17. 77'

    If there is one team who looks like they are going to go on and win this match, then it is Everton.

18. 76'

    Zenden however very nearly gives his team the lead back with a low shot from distance that fizzes only just past Wright's near post. A close call.

19. 75'

    GOAL! Everton deservedly draw level after an excellent move involving Beattie, Kilbane and Hibbert, whose pin-point centre to the back post is cleverly headed back across goal by Ferguson to Cahill and the midfielder has the simple task of drawing his side level.

20. 74'

    This could be an interesting final 15 minutes.

21. 73'

    And the big man makes an immediate impression by winning his first header to cause all sorts of confusion in the home defence, before Southgate just boots the ball clear.

22. 72'

    Moyes makes his first change of the game, removing Yobo and bringing on Ferguson.

23. 71'

    Boro appear to have got over that five-minute spell where Everton looked like they might score at any moment.

24. 70'

    Free kick now to Boro following a late tackle on Job, who is infuriated by the challenge by Stubbs, but the Everton skipper is not booked for his troubles.

25. 69'

    Long free kick from deep inside the Everton half which is met with an excellent towering header by Kilbane in the Boro area, but Schwarzer reads the situation well and gathers the ball.
