Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Brentford FC host Reading FC — let the battle begin!
- 4' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Andy Yiadom.
- 9' Controversy at the stadium! Pontus Jansson argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 14' 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 Garath McCleary suffering a number of foals already.
- 19' Reading 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.
- 24' With 0 assists to his name this season, Said Benrahma is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Reading FC.
- 29' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for John Swift.
- 34' It looks like no one’s ball. Reading FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 39' It looks surprising Brentford FC does not make any changes. Michael Morrison has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 44' Lucas Boye has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 49' Brentford FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 50' Yakou Meite has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sam Baldock on 50 minute.
- 55' Ovie Ejaria has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 60' Another substitution for Reading FC to replace George Puscas by Garath McCleary on 60 minute.
- 62' GOAL! Ollie Watkins fires home to make it 1-0!
- 67' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Brentford FC that had 344 games and scored 506 goals.
- 71' Reading FC ring the changes. Andy Rinomhota has done his job and it is now time for Lucas Boye to step up.
- 76' Brentford FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 78' The referee shows Brentford FC player a Yellow card on 78.
- 79' Yakou Meite catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 79.
- 81' Another change for Brentford FC made on 81 minute. Said Benrahma leaves to be changed by Jan Zamburek.
- 82' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mathias Jensen on 82.
- 87' The home supporters are growing impatient. Brentford FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 90' The Brentford FC manager makes a substitution. Josh Dasilva departs to be replaced by Jaakko Oksanen.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Brentford FC players.
