Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. Brighton & Hove Albion FC get us underway at St James' Park.
5' Brighton & Hove Albion 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.
10' Newcastle United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
12' GOAL! William Osula fires home to make it 1-0!
17' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
22' The referee has no hesitation. Joel Veltman is booked for Brighton & Hove Albion FC — card on 22.
24' The England Dan Burn breaks the deadlock on 24 minutes. 2-0!
29' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
34' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
39' Brighton & Hove Albion FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 39.
44' Newcastle United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
49' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
53' The referee shows Newcastle United FC player a card on 53.
58' 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 Bruno Guimaraes suffering a number of foals already.
61' The England Jack Hinshelwood breaks the deadlock on 61 minutes. 2-1!
66' Brighton & Hove Albion FC come into this ranked 6 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
71' The travelling Brighton & Hove Albion FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
76' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bart Verbruggen, as he is very good at scoring at St James' Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
81' Brighton & Hove Albion FC have won 467 goals from 341 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
85' That looks like a foul for a card for Sandro Tonali.
87' Poor challenge from Fabian Hurzeler. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
90' Jan Paul van Hecke has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 90.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
