Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Brighton & Hove Albion FC is hosting Cardiff City FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' Joe Ralls needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Cardiff City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' Brighton & Hove Albion FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 22' GOAL! Nathaniel Mendez-Laing scores on 22. Assisted by Junior Hoilett
  • 27' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 27 minutes.
  • 32' 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.
  • 37' Brighton & Hove Albion FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 42' 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 Leandro Bacuna suffering a number of foals already.
  • 47' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 50' What a strike from Sean Morrison! The score is 0-2.
  • 54' Florin Andone has so much to prove this time. He replaces Pascal Gross on 54 minute.
  • 55' The Cardiff City FC manager makes a substitution. Aron Einar Gunnarsson departs to be replaced by Leandro Bacuna.
  • 60' Neil Etheridge has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 65' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 69' It is a substitution in Brighton & Hove Albion FC team. Alireza Jahanbakhsh is replaced by Jose Izquierdo on 69 minute.
  • 74' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 79' Joe Bennett was booked on 79.
  • 80' Cardiff City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kadeem Harris is hanging Nathaniel Mendez-Laing on the field on 80 minute.
  • 85' It is a substitution in Cardiff City FC team. Baye Oumar Niasse is replaced by Kenneth Zohore on 85 minute.
  • 90' It looks surprising Cardiff City FC does not make any changes. Aron Einar Gunnarsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • With this win, Cardiff City FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
