Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Carrow Road. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Norwich City FC and Brentford FC.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ethan Pinnock, as he is very good at scoring at Carrow Road with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 10' It looks surprising Brentford FC does not make any changes. Christian Norgaard has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Mads Bech Sorensen is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Brentford FC so far.
- 20' Brentford FC have won 521 goals from 354 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 25' Mathias Jensen, a Denmark , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 26' Emiliano Buendia does the damage! The net is bulging and Norwich City FC surge ahead!
- 31' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 36' Norwich City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Brentford FC backline.
- 41' Winston Reid was booked on 41.
- 46' Norwich City FC is showing some good football. However, Norwich City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 51' Controversy at the stadium! Mario Vrancic argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 56' 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 Saman Ghoddoos suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' Norwich City 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.

- 81' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 83' It is a substitution in Norwich City FC team. Onel Hernandez is replaced by Jacob Sorensen on 83 minute.
- 87' Jordan Hugill gets the nod from Norwich City FC. He replaces Teemu Pukki and will look to change the dynamic.
