Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Blackburn Rovers FC vs Norwich City FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' Norwich City FC is showing some good football. However, Norwich City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 14' Tyrhys Dolan has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 14.
  • 16' Another substitution for Blackburn Rovers FC to replace Ryan Hedges by Harry Pickering on 16 minute.
  • 21' 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.
  • 22' Against the run of play, Marcelino Nunez has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 27' The 25-year-old Borja Sainz has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 32' Blackburn Rovers FC are deployed in a 3-4-2-1 today, looking to exploit space against Norwich City FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 37' Norwich City FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Blackburn Rovers FC that had 382 games and scored 469 goals.
  • 47' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 52' Norwich City FC have won 460 goals from 368 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 56' What composure from Dominic Hyam! The Scotland international strokes it home. 1-1.
  • 61' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. David Wagner will be considering his options from the bench.

  • 79' Poor challenge from Christian Fassnacht. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 84' 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 Ryan Hedges suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' Blackburn Rovers FC ring the changes. Tyrhys Dolan has done his job and it is now time for Arnor Sigurdsson to step up.
  • 86' A change in the Norwich City FC ranks — Grant Hanley exits the field as Jacob Sorensen enters on 86.
  • 90' Controversy at the stadium! Ben Gibson argues furiously but the card stands.
