Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Brentford FC and Manchester United FC has kicked off!
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' Manchester United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' 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.
- 25' It is a cagey affair so far. Brentford FC in their 3-5-2 trying to find a way past Manchester United FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 30' Brentford FC are deployed in a 3-5-2 today, looking to exploit space against Manchester United FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 35' It’s high time Erik ten Hag made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 39' It’s gonna be a card for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
- 44' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 45' It’s a booking for Brentford FC player. Yoane Wissa gets a card.
- 46' Harry Maguire has so much to prove this time. He replaces Raphael Varane on 46 minute.
- 51' Brentford FC have won 521 goals from 354 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 56' Supporters expect more eagerness from Raphael Varane, as he is very good at scoring at Brentford Community Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 59' Antony gets the nod from Manchester United FC. He replaces Alejandro Garnacho and will look to change the dynamic.
- 64' 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 Yegor Yarmolyuk suffering a number of foals already.
- 69' A tactical swap from Manchester United FC — Lisandro Martinez on, Victor Nilsson-Lindelof off on 69 minutes.
- 71' A tactical swap from Brentford FC — Bryan Mbeumo on, Yoane Wissa off on 71 minutes.
- 76' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 80' Manchester United FC ring the changes. Kobbie Mainoo has done his job and it is now time for Mason Mount to step up.
- 83' Zanka has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 83.
