Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Stoke City FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Steven Fletcher suffering a number of foals already.
  • 9' Magnificent from Steven Fletcher! That is 57 goals in 386 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 14' Mathias Jensen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 19' It looks surprising Brentford FC does not make any changes. Harry Souttar has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 24' Stoke City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 24.
  • 29' The 39-year-old John Obi Mikel has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 34' Marcus Forss has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 35' The Ireland James McClean breaks the deadlock on 35 minutes. 2-0!
  • 40' Ivan Toney is having his name booked by the referee on 40.
  • 45' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 46' Another substitution for Brentford FC to replace Mads Bech Sorensen by Mathias Jensen on 46 minute.
  • 51' The travelling Brentford FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 56' Brentford FC is showing some good football. However, Brentford FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 59' GOAL! Tyrese Campbell fires home to make it 3-0!
  • 63' Fresh legs for Brentford FC! Marcus Forss comes on to replace Vitaly Janelt.
  • 64' It is a substitution in Brentford FC team. Vitaly Janelt is replaced by Marcus Forss on 64 minute.
  • 69' Tommy Smith needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 28 Yellow cards this season.
  • 70' Marcus Forss does the damage! The net is bulging and Brentford FC surge ahead!
  • 73' Stoke City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Josh Tymon is hanging Tyrese Campbell on the field on 73 minute.
  • 78' It is a cagey affair so far. Stoke City FC in their trying to find a way past Brentford FC's compact .
  • 81' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Steven Fletcher.
  • 81' A change in the Stoke City FC ranks — Steven Fletcher exits the field as Sam Vokes enters on 81.
  • 86' Rico Henry has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 349 appearances.
  • 87' The crowd applauds Jacob Brown as he leaves the pitch. Tashan Oakley-Boothe steps in for Stoke City FC.
  • 88' Tashan Oakley-Boothe has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 88.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Stoke City FC players.
