Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. PAE AEK kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Steven Zuber suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Brighton & Hove Albion FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 12' A meaty challenge results in booking for Joel Veltman on 12.
  • 17' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 17 minutes.
  • 22' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 27' Poor challenge from Mijat Gacinovic. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 32' The 29-year-old Kaoru Mitoma has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 37' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 42' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 47' Harold Moukoudi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 7 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 52' Brighton & Hove Albion 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.
  • 55' The deadlock is broken! Joao Pedro gets on the scoresheet on 55 minutes.
  • 60' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Roberto De Zerbi will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 63' The referee calls foul for Steven Zuber. He receives a card.
  • 65' Mijat Gacinovic was booked on 65.
  • 69' The Brighton & Hove Albion FC bench stirs into life. Kaoru Mitoma is withdrawn and Mahmoud Dahoud gets his opportunity.
  • 72' A tactical swap from PAE AEK — Sergio Araujo on, Petros Mantalos off on 72 minutes.
  • 77' James Milner is replacing Joao Pedro for the Brighton & Hove Albion FC side.
  • 82' Simon Adingra has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 83' PAE AEK manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Rodolfo Pizarro is hanging Orbelin Pineda on the field on 83 minute.
  • 88' Carlos Baleba gets the nod from Brighton & Hove Albion FC. He replaces Billy Gilmour and will look to change the dynamic.
  • With this win, Brighton & Hove Albion FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
