- 7' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Saman Ghoddoos.
- 12' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Middlesbrough FC that had 371 games and scored 374 goals.
- 17' Middlesbrough 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.
- 22' Samuel Folarin has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 46 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 27' Marc Bola needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 32' Brentford FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
- 35' GOAL! Halil Dervisoglu scores on 35. Assisted by Saman Ghoddoos

- 64' What a strike from Saman Ghoddoos! The score is 2-1.
- 69' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 71' The Brentford FC manager makes a substitution. Halil Dervisoglu departs to be replaced by Charlie Goode.
