Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Nottingham Forest FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Nottingham Forest FC and Hull City AFC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 10' Hull City AFC 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' Hull City AFC is showing some good football. However, Hull City AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 17' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Sean McLoughlin.
  • 22' Ryan Yates, a England , has 46 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

  • 43' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Keane Lewis-Potter makes it 0-1.
  • 48' 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 Josh Magennis suffering a number of foals already.
