Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Nottingham Forest FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Brice Samba needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nottingham Forest FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 22' GOAL! Cyrus Christie scores on 22.
  • 22' The referee calls foul for Cyrus Christie. He receives a Red card.
  • 24' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Cyrus Christie.
  • 28' GOAL! Michael Obafemi scores on 28.
  • 33' 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 Djed Spence suffering a number of foals already.
  • 38' A meaty challenge results in booking for Joel Latibeaudiere on 38.

  • 67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brennan Johnson made 372 appearances and scored 65 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 69' What a strike from Sam Surridge! The score is 4-1.
  • 70' The whistle greets Philip Zinckernagel as he departs to be replaced by Joe Lolley.
