Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Norwich City FC vs Portsmouth FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at Carrow Road. Norwich City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' Grant Hanley is having his name booked by the referee on 15.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Norwich City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Portsmouth FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' It’s high time Kenny Jackett made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ben Godfrey made 372 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 50' Norwich City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 55' Jamal Lowe catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 55.
  • 60' 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.
  • 65' Norwich City FC have won 465 goals from 372 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 66' A change in the Portsmouth FC ranks — Gareth Evans exits the field as Andre Green enters on 66.
  • 71' The referee calls foul for Ronan Curtis. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 76' Norwich City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 78' Norwich City FC make a change. Ben Marshall trudges off to be replaced by Timm Klose on 78 minutes.
  • 83' 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 Tom Naylor suffering a number of foals already.
  • 84' Teemu Pukki has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dennis Srbeny on 84 minute.
  • 85' Onel Hernandez gets the nod from Norwich City FC. He replaces Felix Passlack and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' Magnificent from Andre Green! That is 12 goals in 375 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 90' It is a substitution in Portsmouth FC team. Ronan Curtis is replaced by David Wheeler on 90 minute.
  • Another three points for Portsmouth FC.
