Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Deepdale Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Preston North End FC and Brentford FC.
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Brentford FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 9' Goal! Bryan Mbeumo scores his 62 goal in 443 matches.
- 14' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Brentford FC that had 331 games and scored 414 goals.
- 19' 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 Sepp van den Berg suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 26' GOAL! Marcus Forss scores on 26. Assisted by Mads Roerslev
- 31' The travelling Brentford FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 36' It looks surprising Brentford FC does not make any changes. Finley Stevens has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 41' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 41 minutes.
- 45' Ryan Ledson is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
- 50' It looks like no one’s ball. Preston North End FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 53' The supporters are chanting for Scott Sinclair. He replaces Emil Riis Jakobsen on 53 minute.
- 54' Another substitution for Preston North End FC to replace Brad Potts by Alan Browne on 54 minute.
- 59' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 64' Supporters expect more eagerness from Daniel Iversen, as he is very good at scoring at Deepdale Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 69' Brentford 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.
- 74' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tom Barkhuizen made 369 appearances and scored 26 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 75' GOAL! Ivan Toney scores on 75. Assisted by Tariqe Fosu
