- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rayan made 287 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' Nottingham Forest FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

- 33' The referee shows AFC Bournemouth player a card on 33.
- 34' GOAL! Morgan Gibbs-White scores on 34.
- 39' 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.

- 82' 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 Adam Smith suffering a number of foals already.
- 87' 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.
