Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Brentford Community Stadium!
- 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Norwich City FC that had 368 games and scored 460 goals.
- 15' 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.
- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 27' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Ivan Toney makes it 1-0.
- 32' The energy levels are beginning to show. Thomas Frank might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 37' The home supporters are growing impatient. Brentford FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 42' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 46' The whistle greets Todd Cantwell as he departs to be replaced by Przemyslaw Placheta.
- 51' 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 Jordan Hugill suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Saman Ghoddoos made 434 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 59' Brentford FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sergi Canos is hanging Saman Ghoddoos on the field on 59 minute.
- 64' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Brentford FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 69' The supporters are chanting for Kenny McLean. He replaces Oliver Skipp on 69 minute.
- 70' Another change for Brentford FC made on 70 minute. Josh Dasilva leaves to be changed by Vitaly Janelt.
- 75' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 78' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ben Gibson on 78.
- 80' Vitaly Janelt picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 83' Marcus Forss has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ivan Toney on 83 minute.
- 87' What a moment for Kenny McLean! That strike on 87 puts his side firmly in control.
- The points are shared — Brentford FC 1-1 Norwich City FC. Honours even.
