Events

Match Events

0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Newcastle United Jets FC launch into their encounter with Western United FC.
3' Noah Botic puts Western United FC on the lead.
4' Noah Botic does the damage! The net is bulging and Western United FC surge ahead!
9' Western United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
14' Newcastle United Jets FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Western United FC backline.
19' Western United FC is showing some good football. However, Western 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.
24' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jacob Tratt made 215 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
29' A goal from the Australia international Noah Botic! He fires home on 29 to make it 0-3!
30' Magnificent from Noah Botic! That is 25 goals in 150 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
31' Western United FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
33' Neil Kilkenny is having his name booked by the referee on 33.
33' Beka Mikeltadze adds to his 0 season tally! Newcastle United Jets FC lead 1-4 — and this changes everything.
34' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Neil Kilkenny on 34 minutes.
37' Trent Buhagiar was booked on 37.
42' 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 Jason Hoffman suffering a number of foals already.
44' Mohamed Al-Taay catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 44.
49' Newcastle United Jets 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.
50' A moment of madness from Matt Jurman on 50 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Newcastle United Jets FC will be frustrated.
55' It looks surprising Western United FC does not make any changes. Kostandinos Grozos has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
59' The supporters are chanting for Manabu Saito. He replaces Trent Buhagiar on 59 minute.
64' It looks like no one’s ball. Newcastle United Jets FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

71' It is a substitution in Newcastle United Jets FC team. Kostandinos Grozos is replaced by Beka Dartsmelia on 71 minute.
72' Tongo Doumbia does the damage! The net is bulging and Western United FC surge ahead!
73' A stunning finish from Leo Lacroix — that came from absolutely nowhere!
