Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Ipswich Town FC gets underway.
  • 5' Yasin Ayari is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Ipswich Town FC so far.
  • 10' The 30-year-old Christian Walton has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' Brighton & Hove Albion FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-4-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Brighton & Hove Albion FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 40' 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 Simon Adingra suffering a number of foals already.

  • 49' Ipswich Town FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 49.

  • 68' Ipswich Town FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Brighton & Hove Albion FC's 4-1-4-1 shape.
  • 71' A tactical swap from Ipswich Town FC — Jack Taylor on, Wes Burns off on 71 minutes.
  • 76' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 78' Brighton & Hove Albion FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Danny Welbeck is hanging Joao Pedro on the field on 78 minute.
  • 82' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Georginio Rutter makes it 0-2.
  • 85' George Hirst is ready to make an impact after coming on for Liam Delap at the 85 minute mark.
  • 90' Joel Veltman was booked on 90.
  • 90' It is a substitution in Brighton & Hove Albion FC team. Yasin Ayari is replaced by Jakub Moder on 90 minute.
