Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Griffin Park that hosts another battle between Brentford FC and Oxford United FC.
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' It’s high time Karl Robinson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Oxford United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' Ezri Konsa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 36 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jamie Mackie made 366 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 35' 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 Josh Ruffels suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 45' Oxford United FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 50' The travelling Oxford United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 55' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 55 minutes.
  • 60' It looks like no one’s ball. Oxford United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 61' Curtis Nelson was booked on 61.
  • 64' Time for substitution for Oxford United FC. Jamie Mackie is replaced by Shandon Baptiste.
  • 68' The supporters are chanting for Neal Maupay. He replaces Said Benrahma on 68 minute.
  • 69' Alan Judge has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sergi Canos on 69 minute.
  • 74' Time for substitution for Oxford United FC. Shandon Baptiste is replaced by Luke Garbutt.
  • 79' It looks surprising Oxford United FC does not make any changes. Gavin Whyte has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 80' Brentford FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Neal Maupay on 80.
  • 85' Oxford United 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.

  • 90' Oxford United FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 90' Chiedozie Ogbene is replacing Ollie Watkins for the Brentford FC side.
