Penalty appeals
Boos ring out after a half-hearted penalty appeal following a coming together between Paterson and an Oxford defender.
‘You’re not fit to referee’ is the chant from the stands.
An Oxford free-kick comes off a Wednesday man for a corner, which is met by Sam Long for a free header. Oxford’s best chance this half, they might feel they should have scored that.
Another Oxford player down
Goalkeeper Jack Stevens needs treatment after indicating an issue with his left knee. He gets a round of boos from the home fans and a few words from Bannan.
Both teams get a quick team talk before play resumes. Can we find a winner?
Come on, Wednesday!
Successive corners from Bannan are met by Oxford players before the ball is swung in by Johnson and met by Callum Paterson at close range, who heads it home with a bullet.
The players hold a Semedo shirt aloft in tribute to their former team mate. A nice touch.
Oxford immediately go up the other end and fire one over.
Owls still struggling to create
It’s gone a bit quiet and Matty Taylor has just fired one into the stands. Approaching 70 minutes. Still time to get back into this.
Another roll of the dice
Lewis Wing - another player who has been quiet today - is replaced by Fisayo Dele-Bashiru.
Good move from Wednesday
Paterson finds Berahino with a lovely lofted ball over the top, which the Owls have used to good effect this afternoon. After a few one-twos with Wing Berahino tries to float one towards goal but it drifts past the far post.
