  • 5' Northern Ireland international Jonny Evans has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 10' That is a Yellow card for Brentford FC. Aaron Hickey will be fuming at that decision.
  • 15' 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.
  • 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 Vitaly Janelt suffering a number of foals already.
  • 26' Magnificent from Mathias Jensen! That is 12 goals in 320 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 31' The travelling Brentford FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 36' Brentford FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 41' Brentford FC is showing some good football. However, Brentford FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 46' Christian Eriksen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Casemiro on 46 minute.
  • 48' Christian Norgaard is having his name booked by the referee on 48.
  • 53' It looks like no one’s ball. Brentford FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 58' Bruno Fernandes is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Manchester United FC tonight.
  • 63' Another substitution for Manchester United FC to replace Mason Mount by Antony on 63 minute.

  • 69' Brentford FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Frank Onyeka is hanging Vitaly Janelt on the field on 69 minute.
  • 70' Brentford FC ring the changes. Yoane Wissa has done his job and it is now time for Neal Maupay to step up.
  • 72' The crowd applauds Victor Nilsson-Lindelof as he leaves the pitch. Anthony Martial steps in for Manchester United FC.
  • 77' Christian Norgaard, a Denmark , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
