Events
Match Events

- 15' The 33-year-old Mark Flekken has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

- 21' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Neal Maupay makes it 1-0.
- 26' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mathias Jensen made 320 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 31' The referee calls foul for Neal Maupay. He receives a Yellow card.
- 36' Ederson is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Manchester City FC so far.

- 71' The Manchester City FC manager makes a substitution. Bernardo Silva departs to be replaced by Jeremy Doku.
- 76' named a 3-5-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-4-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 77' It is a substitution in Brentford FC team. Vitaly Janelt is replaced by Yegor Yarmolyuk on 77 minute.
- 79' It is a substitution in Brentford FC team. Reguilon is replaced by Kristoffer Ajer on 79 minute.
