Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Swansea City AFC and Brentford FC get this one started.
- 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.

- 15' Swansea City AFC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Matt Grimes is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Brentford FC.
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Rico Henry, as he is very good at scoring at Liberty Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 30' Against the run of play, Said Benrahma has scored! This game has turned on its head.

- 36' A goal from the England international Jake Bidwell! He fires home on 36 to make it 1-1!
- 41' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Brentford FC that had 354 games and scored 521 goals.
- 46' Bersant Celina has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yan Dhanda on 46 minute.
- 51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Brentford FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 56' The deadlock is broken! Bryan Mbeumo gets on the scoresheet on 56 minutes.
- 61' 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 Joel Valencia suffering a number of foals already.
- 66' Swansea City AFC is showing some good football. However, Swansea City AFC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 88' Jan Zamburek has so much to prove this time. He replaces Said Benrahma on 88 minute.
- 0-3 the final result. Swansea City AFC will be bitterly disappointed.
