- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' Morato has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 30' Marcus Tavernier needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 33' The referee calls foul for James Hill. He receives a card.
- 34' What a strike from Morgan Gibbs-White! The score is 1-0.
- 39' It looks like no one’s ball. Nottingham Forest FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 44' AFC Bournemouth started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 44.
- 49' 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.
- 54' Goal! Marcus Tavernier scores his 29 goal in 383 matches.
- 59' AFC Bournemouth 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.

- 82' Nottingham Forest FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 87' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- The final score is 1-1.
