Events

Match Events

0' Sheffield United FC have kicked off against Brighton & Hove Albion FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Brighton & Hove Albion FC that had 338 games and scored 458 goals.
15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
19' David McGoldrick puts Sheffield United FC on the lead.
24' Sheffield United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 24.
29' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jakub Moder is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sheffield United FC.
34' 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 Adam Webster suffering a number of foals already.
39' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
44' 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.
49' It looks like no one’s ball. Sheffield United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
54' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
56' Goal! Jakub Moder scores his 5 goal in 24 matches.
61' Jose Izquierdo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
65' Fresh legs for Sheffield United FC! Oliver Burke comes on to replace Rhian Brewster.
67' Time for substitution for Brighton & Hove Albion FC. Pascal Gross is replaced by Alireza Jahanbakhsh.
72' Pascal Gross is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Brighton & Hove Albion FC so far.
77' George Baldock catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 77.
81' The Sheffield United FC manager makes a substitution. Ben Osborn departs to be replaced by John Lundstram.
82' Brighton & Hove Albion FC ring the changes. Leandro Trossard has done his job and it is now time for Jose Izquierdo to step up.
87' It looks surprising Brighton & Hove Albion FC does not make any changes. Joel Veltman has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
88' That is a Yellow card for Sheffield United FC. Enda Stevens will be fuming at that decision.
The final score is 1-0.
