Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Brentford FC and Crystal Palace FC get this one started.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Keane Lewis-Potter made 380 appearances and scored 33 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 6' Ismaila Sarr doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 11' Maxence Lacroix is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Crystal Palace FC so far.
  • 16' Brentford FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 21' Brentford FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Crystal Palace FC's 3-4-2-1 shape.
  • 26' Brentford FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 26.
  • 31' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 31 minutes.
  • 36' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 40' The Burkina Faso Dango Ouattara breaks the deadlock on 40 minutes. 1-1!
  • 45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Brentford FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 50' France international Jaydee Canvot has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 52' Goal! Adam Wharton scores his 3 goal in 382 matches.
  • 57' Brentford FC currently sit 8 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 62' 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 Tyrick Mitchell suffering a number of foals already.
  • 67' Brentford FC have won 506 goals from 344 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 72' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 77' Crystal Palace FC is showing some good football. However, Crystal Palace FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 82' The travelling Crystal Palace FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 83' That is a card for Crystal Palace FC. Chris Richards will be fuming at that decision.
  • 88' What a moment for Dango Ouattara! That strike on 88 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 89' Poor challenge from Jefferson Lerma. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Michael Kayode. He receives a card.
  • The points are shared — Brentford FC 2-2 Crystal Palace FC. Honours even.
