Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds City Ground, Nottingham will turn into a battlefield for Nottingham Forest FC and Chelsea FC.
  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 10' Nottingham Forest FC 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.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Chelsea FC that had 411 games and scored 662 goals.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' Levi Colwill has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 22 cards already picked up this season.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 32' The referee shows Nottingham Forest FC player a card on 32.
  • 37' 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 Cole Palmer suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 42 minutes.
  • 47' The energy levels are beginning to show. Enzo Maresca might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 50' The England Levi Colwill breaks the deadlock on 50 minutes. 0-1!
  • 55' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 56' That looks like a foul for a card for Moises Caicedo.
  • 57' Another substitution for Nottingham Forest FC to replace Ibrahim Sangare by Callum Hudson-Odoi on 57 minute.
  • 62' The Chelsea FC bench stirs into life. Jadon Sancho is withdrawn and Romeo Lavia gets his opportunity.
  • 67' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 68' Ryan Yates gets the nod from Nottingham Forest FC. He replaces Nicolas Dominguez and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 73' Nottingham Forest FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 78' It is a substitution in Chelsea FC team. Pedro Neto is replaced by Malo Gusto on 78 minute.
  • 79' Ola Aina has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 79.
  • 83' Ola Aina makes way for Jota Silva at the 83 minute mark. A tactical switch from Nottingham Forest FC.
  • 87' The crowd applauds Noni Madueke as he leaves the pitch. Kiernan Dewsbury Hall steps in for Chelsea FC.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Nottingham Forest FC.
