  • 5' What a strike from Emiliano Buendia! The score is 1-0.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' AFC Bournemouth started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 17' It’s gonna be a Red card for Dimitris Giannoulis.
  • 22' Jacob Sorensen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kieran Dowell on 22 minute.
  • 27' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 32' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jefferson Lerma.
  • 40' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 45' 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.
  • 46' Time for substitution for AFC Bournemouth. Jefferson Lerma is replaced by Sam Surridge.
  • 50' GOAL! Sam Surridge scores on 50.
  • 52' Norwich City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 52.

  • 59' Adam Smith is having his name booked by the referee on 59.
  • 64' AFC Bournemouth is showing some good football. However, AFC Bournemouth are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 69' Onel Hernandez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 20 Yellow cards this season.

  • 82' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AFC Bournemouth needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 87' 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 Dominic Solanke suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' Jack Stacey has so much to prove this time. He replaces Arnaut Danjuma on 90 minute.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Oliver Skipp.
