Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for AFC Bournemouth to score. At the same time, Crystal Palace FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' It is a cagey affair so far. AFC Bournemouth in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Crystal Palace FC's compact 3-4-3.
6' Jaydee Canvot is having his name booked by the referee on 6.
10' Crystal Palace FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jefferson Lerma on 10.
15' It looks surprising AFC Bournemouth does not make any changes. Dorde Petrovic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Adrien Truffert suffering a number of foals already.
25' Both keepers have barely been tested. AFC Bournemouth and Crystal Palace FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
30' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
32' Magnificent from Eli Kroupi! That is 30 goals in 439 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
37' Marcus Tavernier has been relatively quiet despite scoring 32 goals in his last 391 appearances.
38' The referee calls foul for Maxence Lacroix. He receives a card.
43' Dean Henderson is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Crystal Palace FC so far.
48' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His AFC Bournemouth side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
53' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AFC Bournemouth that had 341 games and scored 448 goals.
58' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
63' Daniel Munoz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
68' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Maxence Lacroix made 335 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
77' What a moment for Rayan! That strike on 77 puts his side firmly in control.
82' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
87' It’s high time Oliver Glasner made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
The final score is 3-0.
