- 0' Welcome to Saint Mary's that hosts another battle between Southampton FC and Nottingham Forest FC.
- 5' 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.
- 10' It looks surprising Southampton FC does not make any changes. Murillo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 11' A meaty challenge results in booking for Adam Armstrong on 11.
- 16' 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 Ryan Yates suffering a number of foals already.
- 21' Nottingham Forest FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 21.
- 26' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 29' It’s a booking for Southampton FC player. Flynn Downes gets a card.
- 34' Nottingham Forest FC is showing some good football. However, Nottingham Forest FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 39' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ola Aina, as he is very good at scoring at Saint Mary's with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 44' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alex McCarthy made 348 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 49' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 54' The referee calls foul for Ibrahim Sangare. He receives a card.
- 59' It’s high time Nuno Espírito Santo made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 66' The Nottingham Forest FC manager makes a substitution. Ibrahim Sangare departs to be replaced by Ryan Yates.
- 70' What a strike from Morgan Gibbs-White! The score is 0-1.
- 72' Southampton FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Samuel Edozie is hanging Adam Armstrong on the field on 72 minute.
- 75' The whistle greets Elliot Anderson as he departs to be replaced by Nicolas Dominguez.
- 76' The supporters are chanting for Charlie Taylor. He replaces Taylor Harwood-Bellis on 76 minute.
- 81' Joe Aribo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 25 Yellow cards this season.
- 82' Jan Bednarek is having his name booked by the referee on 82.
- 84' Time for substitution for Southampton FC. William Smallbone is replaced by Tyler Dibling.
- 88' That looks like a foul for a card for Nicolas Dominguez.
