Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Brentford Community Stadium that hosts another battle between Brentford FC and Watford FC.
- 5' Watford FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' Watford FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joshua King made 341 appearances and scored 39 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 24' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Emmanuel Dennis makes it 0-1.
- 29' Watford FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 34' Shandon Baptiste has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 39' Watford FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 39.
- 44' 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 Christian Norgaard suffering a number of foals already.
- 49' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 54' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

- 63' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 68' Controversy at the stadium! Vitaly Janelt argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 69' Brentford FC ring the changes. Yoane Wissa has done his job and it is now time for Marcus Forss to step up.
- 70' Poor challenge from Pontus Jansson. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 75' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 77' Another change for Brentford FC made on 77 minute. Rico Henry leaves to be changed by Frank Onyeka.
- 81' Charlie Goode has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 81.
- 84' What an equalizer from Pontus Jansson!
- 89' Brentford FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 90' Another change for Watford FC made on 90 minute. Emmanuel Dennis leaves to be changed by Ozan Tufan.
- 90' That is a Yellow card for Brentford FC. Frank Onyeka will be fuming at that decision.
- Full Time. Brentford FC beats Watford FC
