Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea FC are looking to make home advantage count against Brighton & Hove Albion FC.
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 15' Chelsea 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.
  • 17' Enzo Fernandez is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 5 goals this season for the midfielder.
  • 21' Levi Colwill doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.

  • 31' Chelsea FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 31.
  • 36' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 41' It is a cagey affair so far. Chelsea FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Brighton & Hove Albion FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 43' What a moment for Facundo Buonanotte! That strike on 43 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 45' Poor challenge from Conor Gallagher. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Red card.
  • 50' 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 Joel Veltman suffering a number of foals already.
  • 52' Chelsea FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 52.

  • 71' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 72' The Chelsea FC bench stirs into life. Nicolas Jackson is withdrawn and Ian Maatsen gets his opportunity.
  • 77' It looks like no one’s ball. Chelsea FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 80' Armando Broja is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mykhailo Mudryk at the 80 minute mark.
  • 84' A tactical swap from Brighton & Hove Albion FC — Benicio Boaitey on, Igor off on 84 minutes.
