Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Fulham FC gets underway.
- 5' 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 Alphonse Areola suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' 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.
- 15' It looks surprising Fulham FC does not make any changes. Neal Maupay has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' Harrison Reed is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Fulham FC tonight.
- 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 27' The referee has no hesitation. Yves Bissouma is booked for Brighton & Hove Albion FC — Yellow card on 27.
- 32' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 37' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ben White, as he is very good at scoring at The American Express Community Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 42' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Brighton & Hove Albion FC and Fulham FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 44' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Alexis Mac Allister.
- 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Harrison Reed on 45.
- 50' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 55' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 60' Fulham 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.
- 65' Brighton & Hove Albion FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Fulham FC backline.
- 66' Fulham FC make a change. Harrison Reed trudges off to be replaced by Mario Lemina on 66 minutes.
- 71' Aleksandar Mitrovic has been relatively quiet despite scoring 114 goals in his last 344 appearances.
- 76' The home supporters are growing impatient. Brighton & Hove Albion FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 79' Fresh legs for Fulham FC! Aleksandar Mitrovic comes on to replace Ivan Cavaleiro.
- 83' Davy Propper has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alexis Mac Allister on 83 minute.
- 88' Argentina international Alexis Mac Allister has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
