- 2' Aaron Hickey picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 7' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 12' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Michael Olakigbe made 344 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 40' Serge Aurier has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 45' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 50' 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 Aaron Hickey suffering a number of foals already.

- 57' Moussa Niakhate was booked on 57.

- 68' The referee shows Nottingham Forest FC player a Yellow card on 68.
- 69' The whistle greets Aaron Hickey as he departs to be replaced by Saman Ghoddos.

- 75' Another change for Brentford FC made on 75 minute. Keane Lewis-Potter leaves to be changed by Neal Maupay.
- 77' Ibrahim Sangare makes way for Cheikhou Kouyate at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from Nottingham Forest FC.
- 80' The Nottingham Forest FC bench stirs into life. Nicolas Dominguez is withdrawn and Divock Origi gets his opportunity.
- 85' 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.
- 88' Frank Onyeka was booked on 88.
- 89' Michael Olakigbe gets the nod from Brentford FC. He replaces Vitaly Janelt and will look to change the dynamic.
