0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Newcastle United FC to score. At the same time, Brighton & Hove Albion FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' The home supporters are growing impatient. Newcastle United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
10' Newcastle United FC is showing some good football. However, Newcastle United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Brighton & Hove Albion FC that had 336 games and scored 453 goals.
20' 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.
22' GOAL! Alexander Isak fires home to make it 1-0!
27' Newcastle United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
29' It’s gonna be a card for Tariq Lamptey.
34' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
35' Brighton & Hove Albion FC player sees a card in front of him.

41' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?

45' Carlos Baleba is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
50' Jan Paul van Hecke, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
55' 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 Georginio Rutter suffering a number of foals already.

61' The travelling Brighton & Hove Albion FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

74' Kieran Trippier has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 385 appearances.

83' A meaty challenge results in booking for Anthony Gordon on 83.
86' The supporters are chanting for Callum Wilson. He replaces Alexander Isak on 86 minute.
