Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Huddersfield Town AFC gets underway.
5' A quiet spell here at The City Ground. Nottingham Forest FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
10' James Garner has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nottingham Forest FC that had 374 games and scored 435 goals.
25' Nottingham Forest FC have won 435 goals from 374 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
30' Nottingham Forest FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
35' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
40' Huddersfield Town AFC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
41' Daniel Ward gets the nod from Huddersfield Town AFC. He replaces Fraizer Campbell and will look to change the dynamic.
46' The England Aaron Rowe breaks the deadlock on 45 minutes. 0-1!
51' 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.
53' Huddersfield Town AFC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
57' Huddersfield Town AFC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
61' Juninho Bacuna makes no mistake. The score reads 0-2 and Huddersfield Town AFC are in front.
63' Another change for Nottingham Forest FC made on 63 minute. Ryan Yates leaves to be changed by Cafu.
64' It is a substitution in Nottingham Forest FC team. Filip Krovinovic is replaced by Lyle Taylor on 64 minute.
66' A tactical swap from Huddersfield Town AFC — Rarmani Edmonds-Green on, Harry Toffolo off on 66 minutes.
71' Naby Sarr, a Senegal , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
76' 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 Scott McKenna suffering a number of foals already.
81' Lewis Grabban makes way for Glenn Murray at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from Nottingham Forest FC.
83' Duane Holmes makes way for Scott High at the 83 minute mark. A tactical switch from Huddersfield Town AFC.
84' Time for substitution for Huddersfield Town AFC. Pipa is replaced by Jaden Brown.
89' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Nottingham Forest FC 0-2 Huddersfield Town AFC.
