Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against AFC Bournemouth and Crystal Palace FC has kicked off!
  • 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 6' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jaydee Canvot on 6.
  • 10' What a strike from Jefferson Lerma! The score is 0-1.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' Crystal Palace FC is showing some good football. However, Crystal Palace FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' Marcos Senesi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Chadi Riad, as he is very good at scoring at Vitality Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 32' What a strike from Eli Kroupi! The score is 1-1.
  • 37' 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 Marcus Tavernier suffering a number of foals already.
  • 38' The referee shows Crystal Palace FC player a card on 38.
  • 43' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 48' Crystal Palace FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 48.
  • 53' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Crystal Palace FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 58' It looks like no one’s ball. Crystal Palace FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 63' Crystal Palace FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 68' The travelling Crystal Palace FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 73' AFC Bournemouth is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 77' GOAL! Rayan scores on 77.
  • 82' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 87' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Crystal Palace FC that had 322 games and scored 376 goals.
  • Another three points for AFC Bournemouth.
