- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' 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 Lamare Bogarde suffering a number of foals already.
- 29' A goal from the Senegal international Ismaila Sarr! He fires home on 29 to make it 1-0!
- 34' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 46' The whistle greets Emiliano Martinez as he departs to be replaced by Robin Olsen.
- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 52' Magnificent from Morgan Rogers! That is 32 goals in 381 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 57' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Crystal Palace FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 58' Time for substitution for Crystal Palace FC. Will Hughes is replaced by Jefferson Lerma.
- 59' Jean-Philippe Mateta does the damage! The net is bulging and Crystal Palace FC surge ahead!
- 64' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 68' The Aston Villa FC manager makes a substitution. Jacob Ramsey departs to be replaced by Marco Asensio.
- 71' The deadlock is broken! Ismaila Sarr gets on the scoresheet on 71 minutes.
- 76' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 78' Crystal Palace FC ring the changes. Adam Wharton has done his job and it is now time for Daichi Kamada to step up.
