Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Villa Park!
  • 5' aston villa fc are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.

  • 23' Bjorn Engels is ready to make an impact after coming on for Tyrone Mings at the 23 minute mark.
  • 28' 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 Kasper Schmeichel suffering a number of foals already.
  • 33' aston villa 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.
