Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Brentford FC is hosting Swansea City AFC for another epic battle.
  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Thomas Frank will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 9' Henrik Dalsgaard picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

  • 15' What a moment for Emiliano Hansen! That strike on 15 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Swansea City AFC have won 493 goals from 398 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 30' 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 Erwin Mulder suffering a number of foals already.

  • 40' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.

  • 54' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Benjamin Cabango on 54 minutes.
  • 59' Kyle Naughton has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 64' Matt Grimes, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
