Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Brentford FC launch into their encounter with Aston Villa FC.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pontus Jansson made 361 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' The 30-year-old Matt Targett has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 16' Aston Villa FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Danny Ings on 16.
- 21' Brentford FC have won 511 goals from 347 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 26' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 30' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jacob Ramsey.
- 31' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Frank Onyeka.
- 36' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 41' It looks like no one’s ball. Brentford FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 42' Yoane Wissa does the damage! The net is bulging and Brentford FC surge ahead!
- 47' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 52' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Aston Villa FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 54' A tactical swap from Brentford FC — Saman Ghoddoos on, Sergi Canos off on 54 minutes.
- 59' Brentford 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.
- 61' Mathias Jensen makes way for Shandon Baptiste at the 61 minute mark. A tactical switch from Brentford FC.
- 66' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 69' Aston Villa FC make a change. Jacob Ramsey trudges off to be replaced by Morgan Sanson on 69 minutes.
- 74' Christian Norgaard has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 459 appearances.
- 77' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ivan Toney.
- 80' The Brentford FC manager makes a substitution. Frank Onyeka departs to be replaced by Vitaly Janelt.
- 83' Magnificent from Mads Roerslev! That is 2 goals in 105 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 88' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Aston Villa FC that had 358 games and scored 498 goals.
- 89' A moment of madness from John McGinn on 89 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Aston Villa FC will be frustrated.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Brentford FC players.
