Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Leeds United FC host Watford FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Watford FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Watford FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 18' Magnificent from Diego Llorente! That is 10 goals in 121 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 23' Ken Sema has been relatively quiet despite scoring 14 goals in his last 358 appearances.
  • 28' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 33' Watford FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 38' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Xisco Munoz will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leeds United FC that had 358 games and scored 532 goals.
  • 45' Fresh legs for Watford FC! Ken Sema comes on to replace Joshua King.
  • 50' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 55' Both keepers have barely been tested. Leeds United FC and Watford FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 59' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Femenia Far.
  • 59' Fresh legs for Watford FC! Joao Pedro comes on to replace Ozan Tufan.
  • 64' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 65' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ismaila Sarr on 65.
  • 68' The Watford FC bench stirs into life. Francisco Sierralta is withdrawn and Christian Kabasele gets his opportunity.
  • 73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Junior Firpo made 349 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 78' The Leeds United FC manager makes a substitution. Stuart Dallas departs to be replaced by Tyler Roberts.
  • 83' England international Kalvin Phillips has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 88' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 88 minutes.
  • 90' Fresh legs for Leeds United FC! Pascal Struijk comes on to replace Mateusz Klich.
  • 90' That is a Yellow card for Watford FC. Emmanuel Dennis will be fuming at that decision.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Leeds United FC and Watford FC (для сухой ничьи).
