Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at Ewood Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' Owen Beck is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Blackburn Rovers FC tonight.
8' The referee has no hesitation. Goncalo Franco is booked for Swansea City AFC — card on 8.
13' Tyrhys Dolan has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 13 minutes.
18' Blackburn Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 18.
23' 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.
28' It looks surprising Swansea City AFC does not make any changes. Azeem Abdulai has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
33' Blackburn Rovers FC is showing some good football. However, Blackburn Rovers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
38' Blackburn Rovers FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Swansea City AFC's 4-3-3 shape.
41' The referee calls foul for Josh Key. He receives a card.
46' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
51' It looks like no one’s ball. Swansea City AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
53' Swansea City AFC ring the changes. Florian Bianchini has done his job and it is now time for Azeem Abdulai to step up.
58' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Blackburn Rovers FC and Swansea City AFC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
59' Blackburn Rovers FC ring the changes. Makhtar Gueye has done his job and it is now time for Yuki Ohashi to step up.
60' That looks like a foul for a card for Owen Beck.
65' Fresh legs for Swansea City AFC! Zan Vipotnik comes on to replace Oliver Cooper.
70' 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.
71' Blackburn Rovers FC make a change. Tyrhys Dolan trudges off to be replaced by Andreas Weimann on 71 minutes.
72' Fresh legs for Swansea City AFC! Joe Allen comes on to replace Goncalo Franco.
77' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Todd Cantwell made 368 appearances and scored 32 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
82' It is a cagey affair so far. Blackburn Rovers FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Swansea City AFC's compact 4-3-3.
87' Both keepers have barely been tested. Blackburn Rovers FC and Swansea City AFC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
90' Blackburn Rovers FC make a change. Todd Cantwell trudges off to be replaced by Lewis Baker on 90 minutes.
1-0 the final result. Swansea City AFC will be bitterly disappointed.
