    Field goal - Chiefspublished at 00:01 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2021

    Kansas City Chiefs 3-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Harrison Butker converts from 49 yards, but it was almost a touchdown as Mahomes wnet close again.

    More pressure on Mahomes forced him to dance around in the backfield before hurling a throw on third-and-11 towards Tyreek Hill, who just can't bring it in.

    Kansas City Chiefs 0-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Mahomes almost gets the opening touchdown as his pass is tipped away by the Bucs with a receiver waiting in the end zone to bring it in. Looked a touchdown all the way until the end.

    Mahomes again on the run, 24 rushing yards already as he gets another first down with his legs.

  6. First downpublished at 23:56 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021

    Kansas City Chiefs 0-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Tyreek Hill gets the ball for the first time on a backfield reverse and he runs for five yards. Clyde Edwards-Helaire then shows great strength to power for a first down - against the league's top run defence no less.

    Neil Alton: First play and Callum (watching his first ever Super Bowl) is calling for a fake punt. I think he’s played too much Madden.

  8. 'The thing that really bothers Brady is pressure up the middle'published at 23:52 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021

    Osi Umenyiora
    Two-time Super Bowl winner

    Osi was in the New York Giants teams which handed Tom Brady his first two Super Bowl defeats. So how do you go about stopping the GOAT?

    "The thing we noticed that really bothered him wasn't so much pressure off the edges because he was very nimble in the pocket, it was pressure up the middle. We had really good players in the middle who were able to really push the pocket.

    "What we did was collapse the edge and that didn’t give him a place to step up. He usually had a lot of problems. This is how we were able to do it. Sounds simple, but that was really the plan.

    "Our defensive line was the main focus as the whole focus of the defence was getting pressure, getting pressure, getting pressure, and the majority of our pressure came off the edges.

    "But because Brady was so successful at manoeuvring and stepping up into the pocket, we had to adjust a little bit to make sure all the pressure came through the middle. If you look at the pressures that we ran in the 2007 Super Bowl or even in 2011, all the blitzes came right up the middle. There really was nothing coming off the edge."

    Kansas City Chiefs 0-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Brady goes down on third down, first sack of the night and it came up the middle, as Osi explains here.

    Patrick Mahomes will get his second chance with the ball after a Bucs punt.

    Brady's back, and this time a Ronald Jones run bursts through for a first down. Amazingly Brady's nine previous Super Bowls have seen him score just three points in total in the first quarters!

  12. Chiefs puntpublished at 23:46 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021

    Kansas City Chiefs 0-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    That's two deep passes towards Mecole Hardman that Mahomes can't complete and the Chiefs have to punt - for just the second time in the post-season.

    Good stop for the Bucs and some excellent pressure they put on Mahomes.

  13. First downpublished at 23:44 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021

    Mahomes on the move! He's been struggling with a bad toe, but nothing wrong with his wheels there as he scoots down the left for 11 yards.

    Patrick Mahomes completes his first pass attempt, but it's a huge tackle by the Buccaneers and they've only gain a couple of yards.

  16. Jason & Osi's predictionspublished at 23:42 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021

    Kansas City Chiefs v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Osi: I always leave my predictions to right now, and I'm going with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think their defensive line gets after Patrick Mahomes and they flummox him.

    Jason: I'm going with the Chiefs in a close one. It's going to be hard to stop this explosive offence.

  17. Three and outpublished at 23:42 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021

    Kansas City Chiefs 0-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Brady can't convert and that's a big early statement from the Chiefs defence. Kansas City brought the kitchen sink at Brady then and he just threw it a bit too early for his receiver.

    Bucs have to punt.

  18. Postpublished at 23:40 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021

    Kansas City Chiefs 0-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    A run and a pass first up for the Buccaneers but they're facing a third down and six to start off with.

  19. Kick-offpublished at 23:39 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021

    And we're off - decent run back and here comes Tom Brady.

  20. Coin tosspublished at 23:37 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021

    Kansas City Chiefs v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Kansas City Chiefs win the toss - the team that's won the toss has lost the last six Super Bowls by the way!

    Anyway, the Buccaneers will get the ball first here, kick-off moments away....
