Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Nottingham Forest FC gets underway.
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 15' A quiet spell here at Deepdale. Nottingham Forest FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 25' The 31-year-old Alan Browne has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Preston North End FC that had 378 games and scored 414 goals.
- 35' The home supporters are growing impatient. Preston North End FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 40' Nottingham Forest FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 45' The referee calls foul for Daniel Johnson. He receives a Yellow card.
- 50' Djed Spence has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 53' Joshua Earl is replacing Patrick Bauer for the Preston North End FC side.
- 58' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 60' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jack Colback on 60.
- 65' It looks surprising Preston North End FC does not make any changes. Steve Cook has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 70' Sepp van den Berg needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 23 Yellow cards this season.
- 73' Controversy at the stadium! Scott McKenna argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 75' The Preston North End FC bench stirs into life. Ched Evans is withdrawn and Emil Riis Jakobsen gets his opportunity.
- 77' Joshua Earl is having his name booked by the referee on 77.
- 81' Sam Surridge gets the nod from Nottingham Forest FC. He replaces Keinan Davis and will look to change the dynamic.
- 86' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 90' That is a Yellow card for Preston North End FC. Ben Whiteman will be fuming at that decision.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
