Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Nottingham Forest FC and Swansea City AFC is underway.
- 5' France international Brice Samba has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 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 energy levels are beginning to show. Steve Cooper might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Swansea City AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Nottingham Forest FC and Swansea City AFC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Swansea City AFC that had 388 games and scored 479 goals.
- 37' The Nottingham Forest FC manager makes a substitution. Jack Colback departs to be replaced by Harry Arter.
- 42' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 43' What a strike from Connor Roberts! The score is 0-1.
- 48' It looks like no one’s ball. Swansea City AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 51' Harry Arter is having his name booked by the referee on 51.
- 53' Fresh legs for Nottingham Forest FC! Joe Lolley comes on to replace Guerrero.
- 58' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Nottingham Forest FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 63' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 68' Nottingham Forest FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Swansea City AFC backline.
- 73' 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.
- 74' A moment of madness from Tobias Figueiredo on 74 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Nottingham Forest FC will be frustrated.
- 76' The supporters are chanting for Will Swan. He replaces Sammy Ameobi on 76 minute.
- 78' Scott McKenna was booked on 78.
- 80' Fresh legs for Swansea City AFC! Wayne Routledge comes on to replace Jamal Lowe.
- 85' 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 Cyrus Christie suffering a number of foals already.
- 87' Swansea City AFC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 87.
- 89' Jake Bidwell picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 90' The referee calls foul for Lyle Taylor. He receives a Yellow card.
