Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Swansea City AFC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Tom Ince has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' Swansea City AFC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Watford FC's 4-1-4-1 shape.
- 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Swansea City AFC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 25' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 26' That is a card for Watford FC. Festy Ebosele will be fuming at that decision.
- 31' Swansea City AFC have won 472 goals from 383 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 35' What a moment for Myles Peart-Harris! That strike on 35 puts his side firmly in control.
- 40' It’s gonna be a card for Matt Grimes.
- 44' It’s a booking for Swansea City AFC player. Goncalo Franco gets a card.
- 45' Watford FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 46' A tactical swap from Watford FC — Kwadwo Baah on, Yasser Larouci off on 46 minutes.
- 51' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 56' 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.
- 61' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 62' Imran Louza gets the nod from Watford FC. He replaces Pierre Dwomoh and will look to change the dynamic.
- 67' Swansea City AFC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Florian Bianchini is hanging Zan Vipotnik on the field on 67 minute.
- 72' 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 Pierre Dwomoh suffering a number of foals already.
- 74' Tom Ince makes way for Mamadou Doumbia at the 74 minute mark. A tactical switch from Watford FC.
- 76' Another substitution for Swansea City AFC to replace Kyle Naughton by Cyrus Christie on 76 minute.
- 79' A moment of madness from Myles Peart-Harris on 79 minutes earns him a card. Swansea City AFC will be frustrated.
- 83' Another change for Watford FC made on 83 minute. Vakoun Issouf Bayo leaves to be changed by Daniel Jebbison.
- 88' Watford FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- Another three points for Swansea City AFC.
