Events

Match Events

  • 0' Brentford FC have kicked off against Sheffield Wednesday FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Steven Fletcher, as he is very good at scoring at Griffin Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' Josh Dasilva doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 15' Alessio Da Cruz, a Cape Verde Islands attacking midfielder, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 18' What a strike from Emiliano Hansen! The score is 2-0.
  • 23' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 28' A quiet spell here at Griffin Park. Sheffield Wednesday FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 33' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 35' Barry Bannan is having his name booked by the referee on 35.
  • 40' What a strike from Bryan Mbeumo! The score is 3-0.
  • 45' 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.
  • 46' Fernando Forestieri is ready to make an impact after coming on for Alessio Da Cruz at the 46 minute mark.
  • 50' That is a Yellow card for Sheffield Wednesday FC. Steven Fletcher will be fuming at that decision.
  • 55' Both keepers have barely been tested. Brentford FC and Sheffield Wednesday FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 60' 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 Henrik Dalsgaard suffering a number of foals already.
  • 65' The supporters are chanting for Kadeem Harris. He replaces Steven Fletcher on 65 minute.
  • 70' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

  • 89' The travelling Sheffield Wednesday FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Brentford FC take all three points.
