Events

Match Events

  • 0' Norwich City FC have kicked off against Huddersfield Town AFC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Norwich City FC and Huddersfield Town AFC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' Jonathan Rowe has been relatively quiet despite scoring 18 goals in his last 376 appearances.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Norwich City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' 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 Jonathan Hogg suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' It’s a booking for Huddersfield Town AFC player. Jack Rudoni gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' The whistle greets Dimitris Giannoulis as he departs to be replaced by Sam McCallum.
  • 47' A stunning finish from Sam McCallum — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 52' Ireland international Shane Duffy has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 57' It looks surprising Huddersfield Town AFC does not make any changes. Jaheim Headley has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 62' With 0 assists to his name this season, Onel Hernandez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Huddersfield Town AFC.
  • 66' The crowd applauds Jonathan Rowe as he leaves the pitch. Adam Idah steps in for Norwich City FC.
  • 69' A tactical swap from Huddersfield Town AFC — Kyle Hudlin on, Ben Jackson off on 69 minutes.
  • 69' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Shane Duffy on 69 minutes.
  • 73' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Borja Sainz makes it 2-0.
  • 74' Ashley Barnes makes way for George Long at the 74 minute mark. A tactical switch from Norwich City FC.
  • 79' Jack Stacey has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 26 cards already picked up this season.
  • 81' Fresh legs for Norwich City FC! Ben Gibson comes on to replace Gabriel Sara.
  • 86' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Huddersfield Town AFC.
