Events

Match Events

  • 21' Adam Armstrong puts Southampton FC on the lead.
  • 23' A stunning finish from Gabriel Sara — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 28' 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 Samuel Edozie suffering a number of foals already.
  • 33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Christian Fassnacht, as he is very good at scoring at Saint Mary's with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 38' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.

  • 57' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Che Adams makes it 3-3.
  • 58' Christian Fassnacht has so much to prove this time. He replaces Onel Hernandez on 58 minute.
