Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Vitality Stadium that hosts another battle between AFC Bournemouth and Norwich City FC.
- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 10' 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 Teemu Pukki suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Adam Smith made 348 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' The 33-year-old Ibrahim Amadou has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 29' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jamal Lewis on 29 minutes.
- 34' Onel Hernandez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 39' The travelling Norwich City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 44' Harry Wilson has been relatively quiet despite scoring 55 goals in his last 400 appearances.
- 49' Philip Billing has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 50' The Norwich City FC bench stirs into life. Ben Godfrey is withdrawn and Tom Trybull gets his opportunity.
- 55' Norwich City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 60' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 62' Joshua King is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dominic Solanke at the 62 minute mark.
- 67' Netherlands international Nathan Ake has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.
- 68' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kenny McLean on 68.
- 69' It is a substitution in AFC Bournemouth team. Harry Wilson is replaced by Arnaut Danjuma on 69 minute.
- 70' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Adam Smith.
- 75' Tom Trybull, a Germany , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 80' Jamal Lewis needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 81' Onel Hernandez is replacing Todd Cantwell for the Norwich City FC side.
- 86' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Teemu Pukki.
- 90' Dennis Srbeny gets the nod from Norwich City FC. He replaces Moritz Leitner and will look to change the dynamic.
