Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Vitality Stadium!
  • 5' AFC Bournemouth started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' AFC Bournemouth have won 443 goals from 337 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. AFC Bournemouth and Fulham FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 25' AFC Bournemouth are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Fulham FC backline.
  • 30' Dango Ouattara, a Burkina Faso , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 35' AFC Bournemouth currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Adam Smith made 337 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 44' Justin Kluivert has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 44 minutes.
  • 49' Ryan Christie has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 54' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Iraola will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 59' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Fulham FC that had 343 games and scored 453 goals.
  • 62' What a moment for Dominic Solanke! That strike on 62 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 62' Fulham FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 63' Fulham FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 64' Andreas Pereira was booked on 64.
  • 69' It looks surprising Fulham FC does not make any changes. Marcus Tavernier has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 72' The whistle greets Antoine Semenyo as he departs to be replaced by Luis Sinisterra.
  • 73' Justin Kluivert makes way for Philip Billing at the 73 minute mark. A tactical switch from AFC Bournemouth.
  • 78' AFC Bournemouth are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 82' The whistle greets Antonee Robinson as he departs to be replaced by Fode Ballo-Toure.
  • 83' Carlos Vinicius gets the nod from Fulham FC. He replaces Andreas Pereira and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 88' Time for substitution for AFC Bournemouth. Marcus Tavernier is replaced by David Brooks.
  • Full Time. AFC Bournemouth beats Fulham FC
